Khartoum: Protests continued in Sudan on Monday, as the country's military attempted to break up an anti-government sit-in outside its headquarters in the capital, Khartoum.
The military eventually backed off, organisers behind the protests said.
As well as the sit-in, protesters marched and chanted "blood for blood" and "revolution" while holding posters of those killed in clashes since demonstrations began.
There were no clashes Monday and no one was hurt but the incident set off concerns that the military, which last week ousted Sudan's longtime President Omar al-Bashir after four months of street protests against his rule, could renege on its promises not to use force against the peaceful demonstrators.

The Sudanese Professionals Association, which is behind the protests, urged people to head to the sit-in Monday and defend it from any new attempts by the military to disperse the demonstrators.
Previous attempts to break up the sit-in before al-Bashir's ouster last Thursday had killed dozens of people.
