Cairo, October 30
Sudanese security forces shot dead two persons on Saturday during mass protests against the country’s recent military coup, a doctors’ union said. The shootings came despite repeated appeals by the West to Sudan’s new military rulers to show restraint and allow peaceful protests.
During the protests, thousands of Sudanese marched into the streets to protest against the coup that is threatening to derail the country’s fitful transition to democracy. Pro-democracy groups had called for protests across the country to press demands for re-instating a deposed transitional government and releasing senior political figures from detention.
The United States and the UN had warned Sudan’s strongman, General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, that they view the military’s treatment of the protesters as a test, and called for restraint. — AP
