Protesters in Sudan are vowing to increase their demonstrations after the deadliest day since a military coup deposed the country’s civilian-led transitional government last month.

Fifteen people were shot dead yesterday amid protests in the capital, Khartoum. At least 39 have been killed since the military seized power on October 25.
