Student protests in El Fasher yesterday (SUNA)
Sudanese Police dispersed demonstrations in Khartoum and Omdurman using tear gas as dozens demonstrated in front of the cabinet office in Khartoum and the parliament in Omdurman yesterday denouncing poor living conditions, and the continuous interruption of electricity and water. The protestors blocked a number of main roads and set fire to tyres. In El Fasher, a youth was allegedly shot by police as protesting students broke-down the fence of the North Darfur governor’s residence.
In eastern Sudan, workers at the Port Sudan Maritime Ports Authority continued their strike on Sunday for the second consecutive day, demanding financial dues. The strike stopped all movement in the port after all the gates were blocked with empty containers.
