Protesters were defiant on the streets of Sudan on Tuesday demonstrating against a military coup, as international condemnation of the country's security forces ramped up with the UN Security Council expected to meet later.
"Returning to the past is not an option," chanted the crowds, who remained outside despite soldiers opening fire and reportedly killing up to seven people.
The UN demanded detained Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's "immediate release," while diplomats in New York told AFP the Security Council was expected to meet to discuss the crisis on Tuesday.
