Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Sudan’s capital Khartoum on Sunday in the largest mass demonstration since the deadly crackdown on a pro-democracy sit-in earlier in June.

Heavily armed security forces, led by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, lined the streets ahead of the demonstrations that started at approximately 1:20 p.m. local time.

Elsewhere, at least one protester died after being shot in the chest during a mass demonstration in the town of Atbara, according to Sudan’s Doctors Committee
