Sudanese security forces fired tear gas Sunday at a second anti-coup rally in Khartoum following a call for civil disobedience against last month's military takeover, according to a witness.

"Protesters gathered in Burri in east Khartoum, barricaded the streets, and set car tyres ablaze, chanting against military rule," said protester Mosab Abdalla. "Security forces later dispersed the protest by firing tear gas and began removing the barricades."
