At least one protester was killed on Thursday, the fourth day of confrontations between soldiers and anti-coup protesters in Khartoum, as the UN Security Council called on the military to restore the civilian-led government they toppled on Monday.
Security forces have clashed with protesters furious over a military coup that derailed a fragile transition to democracy and sparked an international outcry, with the United States and United Nations dialing up the pressure on Sudan’s new military government.
The council in a unanimously passed statement expressed serious concern about the army power grab in the Northeast African nation and urged all sides to engage in dialogue without pre-conditions.
