Doctors in the Sudanese capital strongly criticised the large, roughly tenfold increase of prices of medical services in government hospitals, which was decided on by the Khartoum state government.
Four protesters were shot dead by security forces in Omdurman, the twin city west of the Sudanese capital Khartoum, during renewed Marches of the Millions called by Resistance Committees and opposition forces across the country yesterday. Doctors say that a fifth person died today, after being hit by a tear gas cannister in the chest. Dozens were injured, some by live ammunition. Exact numbers are still unclear but 30 wounded cases were transferred to the El Arbaeen Hospital.
