KHARTOUM (Reuters) - A Sudanese woman who has come to symbolise for many the protests that have forced out former president Omar al-Bashir said her country's revolution was far from over and sought to remove what she called a regime of "murder and tyranny" in its entirety.

Alaa Salah rose to prominence after a video of her addressing protesters from a car roof at the beginning of April went viral. Women have played a prominent role in protests that began on Dec. 19, often forming a majority among demonstrators.
