CAIRO (AP) — Thousands of Sudanese have taken to the streets in the capital of Khartoum and other cities, continuing relentless anti-coup protests that have rocked the country since a military coup three months ago. Activists say three protesters were killed when security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters in the capital and elsewhere Monday. There was no immediate comment from the transitional government. The military takeover on Oct. 25 has upended Sudan’s transition to democratic rule. The African nation has been on a fragile path to democracy since a popular uprising forced the military to remove former autocratic President Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
