At least 105 killed in Blue Nile, almost 20,000 displaced
Live bullets and tear gas were also used on Sunday, July 24, against the demonstration in Omdurman. The security forces also injured several protesters by firing rubber bullets, shooting tear gas canisters directly at the protesters’ heads, and attacking them with stones and batons, the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors (CCSD) reported on July 23. Another protester, 21-year-old Hussam Al-Sayadh, who was “kidnapped” by the security forces, is feared to have been forcibly disappeared. His lawyer, Saleh Bushra, who sought an autopsy into his murder, was harassed and interrogated by the security forces who ostensibly suspected him of being Ismail’s killer. He was the 115th protester to be killed since the military coup in Sudan on October 25, 2021. He was hit in the chest when security forces fired live bullets to disperse a demonstration in Omdurman city in Khartoum State. The protesters also condemned the military junta and its ally, a former armed rebel group, for provoking violence between two ethnic communities – Funj and Hausa– in the southeastern Blue Nile State.Ī young protester, Abu Bakr Ismail, died during the country-wide actions on July 21. Demonstrations were held in different cities of Sudan all of last week calling for peace in the country’s restive border States.
