Supporters of residents displaced by a dam north of Khartoum took their long-running protest to the doorstep of Sudan's president on Thursday.
About 25 people gathered beside the headquarters of the Sudan Armed Forces and faced the adjacent home of President Omar al-Bashir, an AFP reporter saw.
"We call for the rights of people affected by the dam," their signs said.
The peaceful protesters dispersed at the request of security officers.
It is the latest gathering in Khartoum by supporters of residents displaced by the Merowe dam. City police forcibly broke up two sympathetic demonstrations in December.
On November 20, about 1,000 people affected by the hydroelectric project began a sit-in at Al-Damer, a town around 300 kilometres (180 miles) north of Khartoum, over the government's alleged failure to compensate them with new homes as promised.
The sit-in continues.
Completed in 2009 at a cost of more than $2 billion (1.5 billion euros), the Chinese-built development, northwest of Al-Damer, doubled Sudan's power generation capacity.
