KHARTOUM, Dec 8 - Sudanese security forces used tear gas and blocked roads and bridges on Thursday as they sought to contain scattered protests in the capital, a Reuters reporter said, three days after anThousands of protesters gathered in the afternoon in several areas of Khartoum, including close to the presidential palace where the military and civilian parties on Monday struck a framework deal for the formation of a civilian government.
Opinion about the deal is divided, with some Sudanese saying it could bring stability and others rejecting the military's involvement. "We will bring down the agreement just like we brought down the coup," said Safaa Saleh, a 22-year-old university student protesting in Khartoum. "We want justice for the martyrs and reject the military."
Protests carried on after sunset, and police moved to shut several bridges between Khartoum and its neighbouring cities of Omdurman and Bahri later in the day than normal, causing gridlocked traffic on some streets.
