OMDURMAN, Sudan - Hundreds of people gathered in the Sudanese city of Omdurman across the River Nile from Khartoum on Monday to protest against the ruling military a day after at least seven people died in clashes between security services and protesters.
At least 600 people blocked off the main road leading to White Nile bridge, which connects Omdurman to Sudan’s capital, and set up barricades as riot police looked on. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across Sudan on Sunday demanding the military hand over power to civilians, in the biggest demonstrations since a deadly raid by security forces on a protest camp in central Khartoum three weeks ago.
The military council, which had ruled Sudan since President Omar al-Bashir was ousted in April, has accused the FFC of responsibility for the violence and said at least three government forces were injured by live fire. Sudan’s military overthrew Bashir on April 11 after months of demonstrations against his three decades in office.
A doctor’s group linked to the opposition said that more than 100 people were killed during the June raid and that the bodies of 40 people had been pulled from the Nile afterwards.
