Scores of Sudanese protested in the capital Monday against diplomatic relations with Israel, after last week's surprise visit by the Israeli foreign minister.

Dozens of Sudanese protesters chanted "no normalization" with Israel, as they held banners blaming Sudanese military leader Abdul Fattah al-Burhan for committing a "betrayal."
