Sudan's military removes al-Bashir: All the latest updates

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has been removed by the military after months of anti-government protests against his three-decade rule.

A military council led by Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan is now in power and says it will oversee a transitional period that will last a maximum of two years.

Demonstrators, however, are demanding that the country's military ruler immediately hand over power to a civilian-led government.

Hundreds of doctors and health workers in their white coats marched from Khartoum's main hospital towards the sit-in outside the army headquarters, carrying banners and chanting: "freedom, peace, justice".

Thousands of protesters remained at the protest site demanding Sudan's military council hand over power to a civilian-led administration.

"We faced tear gas, many of us were jailed. We have been shot and many have died. All this because we said what we wanted to," protester Fadia Khalaf told AFP. "Now we fear that our revolution could be stolen, which is why we are keeping our ground here. We are staying here until our demands are met."
