Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdock has resigned following weeks of protests in Khartoum.
Thousands of Sudanese have taken to the streets in protest of a military coup last October.
Opposition groups chanted slogans calling for a return to power and a return to normalcy. But two protesters were killed on Sunday in a military operation.
The decision to oust Prime Minister Hamdock, who returned to power six weeks after he was ousted in a coup, puts the Sudanese government under full military control.
In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Hamdock said "the country's very existence is at stake."
He said he had done everything in his power to keep Sudan in a "dangerous situation", but "despite all the efforts, no agreement has been reached" and "I have decided to hand over my prime ministerial job to someone who can transfer Sudan to a civilian administration."
French news agency AFP reports quoting medical sources that security forces killed two people during a protest rally on Sunday.
Ricuters reported that the police and vulnerable people have killed at least five people in the last week, and the number of people who were killed in security forces since the last October.
The United States warned over the weekend that it was "deeply concerned" about the security crackdown in Sudan.
US State Department spokesman Anthony Blincon said on Twitter that he was "deeply concerned" by reports of Sudanese security forces' crackdown on protesters.
He also warned that his government would condemn the use of force against protesters and that the United States would take action against those who obstruct Sudan's transition to democracy.
Police in riot gear stormed a rally in Khartoum on Sunday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck.
The government shut down Internet and telephone services ahead of the protests, shutting down major roads and bridges leading to Khartoum, and deployed large numbers of armed police.
Sunday's protest was the 12th since General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan was overthrown in a military coup against Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdock last year, and the first for a new year of bombings.
The Internet has been shut down since Sunday morning as protesters marched on a military base in the capital, Khartoum.
According to organizers of the months-long protest, their main demand is for the army to hand over power to a civilian government and step down.
Opposers in the same seaworks in the city of Omdirman, near the city of Omdirman, has increased by the fig tree death.
In addition to the opposition in Sudan cities, the police are reported by the police in the cities of Sudan cities.
The country has been in turmoil for the past three years since the ouster of former President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who ruled Sudan for nearly 30 years.
After al-Bashir's ouster, power was divided between the army and civilian politicians and a transitional government was formed, but the two sides continued to disagree.
The forces that led the uprising have been pushing for the establishment of a civilian government outside Sudan and for a democratically elected government in Sudan.
However, tensions between the country's transitional civilian leaders and the military escalated, with the ouster of Prime Minister Abdel Hamud in a military coup last October.
It was in November, just weeks after a coup d'état that General Al Burhan, the leader of Sudan's transitional government, was due to hand over power to civilian politicians, according to a non-partisan agreement reached three years ago.
The general said that the coup was aimed at preventing civil war by inciting civilians against the security forces.
He said Sudan was still in the process of transition and was committed to the country's transition to civilian rule, adding that elections would be held in two years.
Opposition groups called for the beleagured PM to resign, but he remained in office until further notice.
Sudanese generals, who have been protesting on the streets of Sudan for months, have been calling for the generals to resign.
A coup in October by General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan exacerbated the crisis in the country, with protesters calling for the country's transition to democracy to accuse the army of undermining change.
