Sudan's defence minister stepped down abruptly on Friday as head of the country's transitional ruling military council after only a day in the post, as protesters demanded quicker political change following President Omar al-Bashir's ouster by the armed forces.
At least 16 people were killed, and 20 injured by stray bullets at protests and sit-ins in Sudan on Thursday and Friday, a Sudanese police spokesman says in a statement.
