A protester was shot dead as anti-military protests flared in parts of Khartoum and nearby Omdurman on Thursday, a week after military leaders and the former ruling civilian coalition met to break a political deadlock gripping Sudan since last year's army coup.
The Forces of Freedom and Change described the meeting in a statement last week as a step to end what it described as a "fake" political process, in line with its aim of ending the military takeover through a political solution.
