KHARTOUM (Reuters) -A U.N. official discussed mediation options and possible "way forward" for Sudan with its ousted prime minister on Sunday, a day after hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets to demand an end to military rule.

The outpouring of dissent posed the biggest challenge to General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan since he toppled Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's cabinet last Monday and arrested key politicians. The streets were largely calm on Sunday.
