In this Jan. 11, 2020 photo, Sudanese activists hang out and talk about the current political situation, at the Revolutionary Martyrs Center, in Khartoum, Sudan. The young protesters who led the uprising against former President Omar al-Bashir, are now caught in the limbo of the country's fragile interim period. Nearly a year after his ouster, the country faces a dire economic crisis, leaving many young people jobless. Generals remain the de-facto rulers of the country and have shown little willingness to hand over power to a civilian-led administration, one the demonstrators' key demands. (AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)
