Hundreds of Thousands Protest in Sudan Calling for Civilian Rule
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, hundreds of thousands of protesters took part in another mass
sit-in Thursday outside Sudan's Defense Ministry. The protesters are
calling for civilian rule, following last month's military coup that
ousted longtime leader Omar al-Bashir.

Safaa Ibrahim: "It took us four years of protesting to reach this point.
We persevered through security forces and bullets and everything.
Ramadan would never let us give this up. We will persevere through
Ramadan under any pressures, under any challenges. We will persevere
until all demands are met."
