Scores of people were injured in Sudan in mass protests organised on Thursday against military rule.

The demonstrators were angered by delays in signing a final agreement to re-establish civilian rule in the country.

The protests also marked the fourth anniversary of the popular uprising that led to the overthrow of former long-term ruler Omar al-Bashir.

Hundreds of demonstrators blocked main roads in the capital, Khartoum, and other cities.

Many carried placards and chanted slogans denouncing the army’s involvement in politics.

The security forces used tear gas to disperse the huge crowds who had planned to go to the presidential palace in Khartoum.

It comes as Sudan's leaders again postponed the signing of a deal to form a civilian-led government.

Differences between military factions have led to delays in finalising the agreement.

Sudan has been in political turmoil since the military seized power in a coup in October 2021, scuttling the transition to democratic rule.

The country has witnessed near-weekly protests which have led to the deaths of hundreds of protesters.
