Sudanese security forces closed bridges across the Nile into Khartoum on Saturday as protesters began to gather across the capital for mass rallies against a military takeover last month.
The demonstrations come two days after military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan announced the formation of a new ruling council that excludes the civilian coalition the military had been sharing power with since 2019.
Roads to strategic sites including the presidential palace, the cabinet office and the airport were also shut, witnesses told Reuters. Mobile internet services have remained cut in Sudan since the coup, despite a court order to restore them, and phone coverage has been disrupted, complicating efforts by the protest movement.
