Sudan police fire tear gas as protesters near presidential palace

Sudanese police fired tear gas Sunday at crowds of protesters approaching the presidential palace, an AFP correspondent reported, as thousands rallied against the ruling generals to demand a civilian administration.

Police fired at least five tear gas canisters about 700 meters (some 765 yards) from the palace in downtown Khartoum, as members of the feared paramilitary Rapid Support Forces were mobilized to stop the crowds.
