KHARTOUM - Sudanese soldiers intervened to protect demonstrators on Monday after security forces tried to break up a protest by thousands of anti-government demonstrators camping outside the Defence Ministry in central Khartoum, witnesses and activists said.
But witnesses and activists said that soldiers guarding the compound had come out to protect the demonstrators, firing warning shots in the air. “The crowd in front of the general command has been cleared completely, in a way that resulted in no casualties among all parties ... Sudan’s 40 million people are suffering from a severe economic crisis caused in part by years of U.S. sanctions and in part by the loss of oil revenues since South Sudan seceded in 2011.
Bashir has acknowledged that the protesters have legitimate demands but that they must be addressed peacefully, and through the ballot box.
