Demonstrators took to the streets of Sudan's capital Khartoum again on Tuesday after the country's transitional government was dissolved and Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was arrested by the military on Monday.

In exclusive footage that CGTN obtained from local media, plumes of smoke could be seen after protesters set tyres on fire as they blocked a street.

Sudan doctors' association said at least two people were killed and over 80 others injured in clashes between security forces and protesters. 

On Monday, Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, members of the Transitional Sovereignty Council's civilian component and several ministers were arrested by joint military forces.

Sudan's ruling military council head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan later announced a state of emergency across the country and the dissolution of the transitional sovereign council and the government.

Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, the top general defended the army's move, saying he ousted the government of Hamdok to avoid a civil war.

He said Hamdok was confined in his home and had not been harmed.
