KHARTOUM - Tens of thousands of Sudanese protesters rallied on Saturday two months after a military coup, demanding that soldiers"go back to the barracks" and calling for a transition to civilian rule.

At least 48 people have died in crackdowns during weeks of demonstrations, according to the Doctors' Committee, and Khartoum's state governor has warned that security forces"will deal with those who break the law and create chaos". The move alienated many of Mr Hamdok's pro-democracy supporters, who dismissed it as providing a cloak of legitimacy for Gen Burhan's coup.

As well as rallies in Khartoum and its suburbs, protesters also marched on the streets of Wad Madani, a city around 150 kilometres to the south, witnesses said.INTERNET CUT AT DAWN "Freedom of expression is a human right," Mr Perthes said on Saturday, adding that it includes"full access" to the Internet.The Doctors' Committee called on the world"to monitor what happens in Sudan on the issue of the revolutionary movement for freedom and democracy".
