KHARTOUM, June 30, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Sudanese police fired tear gas at
protesters in three districts of Khartoum as thousands gathered in response
to a call for a mass demonstration Sunday against the ruling generals,

Tear gas was used in the northern district of Bari and in Mamura and
Arkweit, eastern Khartoum, as protesters chanted “Civilian rule! Civilian
rule!”.
Security forces also fired tear gas at demonstrators in the eastern town
of Gadaref, a witness said.
