Sudan: Police use tear gas to disperse protesters

Protests calls for formation of transitional legislative assembly

Several protesters in Sudan were injured on Monday as police used tear gas to disperse them.

The protests organized by residential committees and the Sudanese Professional Association (SPA) in the capital Khartoum called for the formation of the transitional legislative assembly, replacement of some newly appointed civilian governors and completion of the peace process with rebel groups.

The protesters chanted slogans against the transitional government led by the Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok.
