Protests resume in Sudan amid political unrest

Pro-democracy protests are once again taking place in several cities and towns across Sudan as people reject October’s coup and call for the release of recently arrested politicians.

Since last week three politicians who had once been in the ruling sovereign council have been detained.

They had all been part of a task force appointed to dismantle the economic and political networks set up during the former president Omar al-Bashir’s rule of almost three decades. Since the coup around 80 protestors have been killed by the security forces.
