Protesters rally international support

Hundreds of protesters have gathered in London outside the embassies of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, expressing their support for anti-coup demonstrators in Sudan. All three countries enjoy close ties with Sudan's military.

While Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has backed army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the UAE and Saudi Arabia joined the US and UK last week in a joint statement that urged leaders of the coup to restore the civilian government.

Solidarity protests also took place in Glasgow, Sydney, Washington and Montreal, among others, on Saturday.
