Sudanese demonstrators run from teargas lobbed to disperse them as they march along the street during anti-government protests in Khartoum, Sudan, on December 25, 2018. Since August 2019, the country has been led by a joint civilian-military ruling body, chaired by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, which is charged with overseeing the work of Hamdok's government.

Supporters of Sudan's transitional government took to the streets of the capital Thursday as rival demonstrators kept up a sit-in demanding a return to military rule.
Both sides appealed to their supporters to keep apart and refrain from any violence but there was a heavy police and troop presence around potential flashpoints.
