Defiant protesters remain on the streets of Sudan after the country’s armed forces launched a military coup.

Chanting and waving flags, they have blocked roads in the capital Khartoum and around the country following the takeover.

On Monday coup leader Gen Abdel Fattah Burhan dissolved civilian rule, arrested political leaders and called a state of emergency.

Soldiers opened fire on crowds and reportedly killed 10 people.

Gen Burhan is expected to address the media today. Earlier, he sought to justify the takeover by blaming political infighting.

The coup has drawn global condemnation. Diplomats told media that the UN Security Council is due to meet today to discuss the crisis.
