Hundreds of Thousands of Sudanese Protesters March Against Military Rule
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, hundreds of thousands of protesters marched to the
presidential palace in the capital Khartoum Sunday, demanding an end to
military rule and the right to self-determination. They were met by
heavy volleys of tear gas, stun grenades and live ammunition fired by
Sudanese soldiers. Protesters also took to the streets in cities across
Sudan, marking the third anniversary of the uprising that toppled
longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir.
