Sudanese stand ground against coup as condemnation pours in

14 Sept 13:58 Key points summarised by AI

Sudan's military, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, staged a coup, detaining Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and dissolving the transitional government.
Thousands of Sudanese defied the military takeover, protesting in the streets of Khartoum and other cities, leading to clashes where at least four demonstrators were reportedly killed.
The coup triggered widespread international condemnation, with the UN demanding Hamdok's release and the US suspending $700 million in aid.
The military justified its actions as necessary 'to rectify the revolution's course,' but critics denounced it as a 'betrayal' of Sudan's democratic transition.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
