thousand of Sudanese in million march against military rule in country
In a Million March against military rule in Sudan masses have poured onto the streets of Khartoum demanding democracy in the country. Security forces fired tear gas during violent protests while thousands of civilians chant Civil Rule! Civil Rule! One protester has been killed and number of injured during mass protests against military leadership. An anti military medical group claims 120 killing since beginning of protests while official cited 61. Mass rallies into country’s capital city Khartoum and neighboring cities sought military generals to hand over powers to civilian government and justice for victims of military crackdown.
The ongoing protest blew up anger after killing of 3 protesters outside military headquarter during disperse of crowd by security forces. Transitional Military Council was set up to decide about new ruling structure which was proposed civilian led government by African Union (AU) and neighboring countries, but TMC seems to be more interested for military led administration.
Rapid Security Forces (RSF) chief General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo warned not to tolerate “vandalism” at the protest. “There are people who have hidden agenda, we don’t want problems,” said General Dagalo.
Following a popular uprising against Ex President Omar al-Bashir who was ousted by military in April this year, Sudan has been facing turmoil situation. Omar al-Bashir seized power in a coup on 30th June 1989.
