Death toll rises to at least 76 since the military takeover in October last year
Three more people were killed in Sudan, a medical group said, as thousands of people once again took to the streets of the capital and other cities Monday in relentless protests that have rocked the country since a military coup three months ago.
The fatalities brought the death toll among protesters to at least 76 since the military takeover on October 25. The fresh crackdown will likely complicate U.N. efforts to find a way out of the country's crisis.
Protesters, mostly young people, marched in the streets of Khartoum and its sister city of Omdurman Monday, according to the pro-democracy movement. There were also protests elsewhere in the country, including the provinces of Kassala, Red Sea, Jazira and the already restive Darfur region, the movement said.
