Coronavirus: Khartoum governor sacked in prayer ban row

The ban on prayers in mosques and churches starts on Saturday

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has sacked the governor of the capital, Khartoum, after he opposed a ban on religious gatherings imposed to try to curb the spread of Covid-19.

General Ahmed Abdun Hammad Mohammed refused to implement a decision to ban prayers in mosques and churches due to come into force on Saturday.

Earlier on Thursday, police fired teargas at supporters of the ousted President Omar al-Bashir.

They were demonstrating against the transitional government's austerity programme.
