Sudanese Attorney General Tajelsir El Hibir made strict orders to the security and police forces against using live bullets or tear gas to disperse peaceful gatherings, expected on Saturday to mark the second anniversary of the popular revolution that toppled the regime of President Omar al-Bashir.
The revolution erupted on December 19, 2018 and continued until the announcement of Bashir s resignation in April 2019.
On Thursday, the cabinet stressed the need to develop a security plan to ensure the safety of the gatherings and protect them from any violence.

Sudan on Wednesday withdrew citizenship from 3,548 foreigners granted the nationality by the former regime of ousted President Omar Al-Bashir, the Sudanese Ministry of Interior said in a statement.
In May 2019, the Sudanese Ministry of Interior announced forming a technical committee to examine and review the procedures followed ahead of granting the Sudanese nationality to people in the recent past.
Wednesday s statement said the head of the Sovereignty Council in Sudan, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, cancelled previous decisions issued by the Presidency of the Republic to grant 3,548 foreigners the Sudanese nationality upon the recommendation of the Minister of Interior Al-Tarifi Idris.
