| 2013-09-29 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] More than 3,000 protesters erupted into the streets of the Sudanese capital on Saturday to demand for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir to step down, witnesses said, after days of unrest in which dozens of people have been killed. The protests, which are on their sixth day, were sparked by the scrapping of fuel subsidies that have turned into an expression of anti-government sentiment. Opposition sources say more than 140 people have been killed since the unrest began on Thursday. But the official corpse count is now at 33 after four protesters were rubbed out by unidentified gunnies on Friday, Rooters news agency reported. |
