Protests have been going since last week, when the government announced substantial increases in gas prices.
Friday's protests were by far the largest and the most violent.
Two people were killed and over three hundred injured, including one hundred and eleven policemen.
Police used tear gas to try and force crowds, who were lighting fires in the streets and throwing objects at police, to disperse.
By Friday evening, military forces lined the streets of Khartoum and were deploying in other cities.
