Sudanese police attack massive Khartoum protest
People chant slogans during a demonstration in Kordofan, Sudan
SUDANESE President Omar al-Bashir ordered a probe into demonstrations demanding his resignation today hours after police again attacked peaceful demonstrators in the capital.
Thousands marched on New Year’s Eve through Khartoum chanting: “The people want to bring down the regime” and “Sudan, we sacrifice our lives and blood for you.”
The march, the latest in weeks of massive protests against rising prices and Mr Bashir’s tyrannical rule, was called by trade unions. It was attacked by police, including reportedly with live ammunition.
