KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Security forces fired tear gas and stun grenades at protesters who rallied against Sudan's military rulers on Thursday, as diplomatic moves to broker a political solution to a post-coup crisis showed little sign of progress.

Thousands marched towards the presidential palace in Khartoum amid high temperatures and a heavy security presence, in the first major demonstration since the fasting month of Ramadan and the biggest turnout for several weeks.
