Sudanese police broke up several protests held after Friday prayers, as security agents arrested a top opposition leader after calls for more demonstrations against a rise in bread prices.
Angry crowds have taken to the streets in Khartoum and other cities since December 19 after a government decision to hike the cost of bread.
