Second Death, Rapes Reported at Sudan's Mass Protest Sunday
|
[An Nahar] The corpse count from a crackdown on Sudanese protesters Sunday rose to two, medics said Tuesday, while a government ministry said two women were raped in the chaos.On Monday medics had reported a first shooting death in the previous day's street violence, while the health ministry reported 125 protesters injured, many by tear gas inhalation.
On Tuesday, the independent Sudan Doctors' Committee reported the additional death. It said Abdelmoneim Mohammed Ali, 28, was killed with "a bullet in the head" in Omdurman, Khartoum's twin city.
Security forces cracked down Sunday as hundreds of thousands marched, marking three years since the start of mass demonstrations that led to the ouster of veteran strongman Omar al-Bashir
 ...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it...
The protesters rallied against the northeast African country's military chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who led a coup on October 25.
Nationwide, at least 47 people have been killed in street festivities in the past two months, according to the Committee.
Two women demonstrators were raped in Sunday's protest, said Suleima Ishaq, head of the Combating Violence Against Women unit at the Ministry of Social Development, without saying who were the suspected perpetrators.
"One woman filed a report with the authorities while the other woman refused taking legal steps," Ishaq told AFP.
The army on Monday insisted in a statement it supports "free and fair elections" in 2023.
However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
the Forces for Freedom and Change, the umbrella group which spearheaded the protests against Bashir, has called for more demonstrations on December 25 and 30.
