On Wednesday, the US embassy in Sudan said that since the military took over the country on Monday, 12 people had been killed and over 100 injured in the protests that broke out against the armed forces.
The head of Sudan's ruling military council, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, declared a state of emergency on Monday and dissolved the transitional Sovereign Council and government.
The move received worldwide condemnation, with the African Union suspending Sudan from all its activities until civilian rule is restored, the World Bank suspending aid, and the US following suit.
