July 1 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Sudanese Police launched tear gas this Friday to disperse a group of protesters who were heading to the Presidential Palace in the country’s capital, Khartoum, two days after the death of nine protesters due to the repression of the security forces in New day of protests against the military authorities.
At the moment there is no record of victims from these incidents, reports the Al Hadath channel, amid closures to the passage of various parts of the capital to prevent the repetition of the demonstrations.
The protests, which have already left more than a hundred dead due to the repression, continue amid contacts between the military authorities, led by the head of the Army and president of the Sovereign Transitional Council, Abdelfatá al Burhan, and the political organizations and opposition civilians to try to solve the crisis.
The October coup d’état led to the dismissal of the civilian prime minister, Abdalá Hamdok, although international pressure led to an agreement to reinstate him in office in November, which caused him to lose support among the opposition and revolutionary forces.
However, Hamdok presented his resignation in January in protest against the repression of the mobilizations and after the military authorities expelled various civil groups from the Executive, arguing that they were acting against the interests of the State.
The transitional authorities were established after an agreement between the previous military junta, which emerged after the 2019 coup against Omar Hassan al Bashir, and various civil organizations and opposition political formations. This Government had initiated a battery of social and economic reforms and has reached a peace agreement with important rebel groups from Darfur and other areas of the country.
