At least 57 protesters have been killed since the coup, according to pro-democracy medics. Sudan's civilian Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigned Sunday, more than two months after a coup and following another deadly crackdown on protesters, with the military now firmly in control. The pro-democracy Doctors' Committee said security forces killed three protesters, including one who was shot in the chest and another who suffered a "severe head wound" at the hands of security forces in Omdurman. Young men on motorcycles were seen ferrying wounded protesters to hospitals as security forces blocked ambulances from reaching them. Protests since the army's takeover have been repeatedly broken up by security forces firing rounds of tear gas, as well as charges by police wielding batons.
