Pro-military protesters turn out for second day

Hundreds of pro-military protesters held two days of rallies in Khartoum, in an escalation of what the prime minister, Abdalla Hamdok, called the “worst and most dangerous crisis” of the country’s precarious transition.

The protesters are demanding the dissolution of Sudan’s postdictatorship interim government, saying it has failed them politically and economically.

Sudanese politics is reeling from divisions among the factions steering the transition from three decades of iron-fisted rule by Omar al-Bashir.
