A Sudanese military official says Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan has fired at least six ambassadors, including the country's envoys to the U.S., the European Union and France. Also fired were the Sudanese ambassadors to the U.N. mission in Geneva, Qatar, and China.
U.S. President Joe Biden called Thursday for Sudan's people to be allowed to protest peacefully as the number of those killed in recent demonstrations against the military coup rose to nine.
