Sudanese security forces kill 3 in new anti-coup protests

KHARTOM, 07 January 2022, (TON): Sudanese security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition, killing at least three people as thousands once again took to the streets in the capital of Khartoum and other cities to protest the October military coup.

According to activist Nazim Sirag and the Sudan Doctors Committee “in Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum, two protesters were killed, while in the Sudanese capital’s district of Bahri one demonstrator was shot and killed.”

Sirag said “one of the fatalities in Omdurman was a man who was shot in the head and died before reaching the hospital.”

Many were wounded, including by gunshots, the activist and the committee said.

The spasm of violence is the latest since the Oct. 25 military takeover that has scuttled hopes of a peaceful transition to democracy in Sudan. Thursday’s fatalities bring to at least 63 the number of people killed since the coup, and hundreds have been wounded in clashes with security forces trying to thwart protests.
