Day 106 of the Military Coup

Summary of Events

• At least 19 cities came out in protest on this 17th round of nationwide mass demonstrations against #SudanCoup.

• As has become custom, peaceful protesters across the tri-city capital were attacked by #SudanCoup forces using teargas, stun grenades, as well as rubber bullets and live ammunition. In central Khartoum, skunk vehicles were deployed against protesters.

• #SudanCoup forces also arrested a BBC Arabic team working to cover today's demonstrations, detaining them for several hours before granting their release.

• In Atbara, protesters blocked main road linking the city to Khartoum, and were teargassed by #SudanCoup forces.

• Following the decision made by Northern State security committee yesterday, #SudanCoup forces dismantled the Mishu-Hafeer barricade along the Sudan-Egypt highway. In response, residents in nearby areas erected a number of other barricades, bolstering the lockdown on the Sudan-Egypt highway and ensuring it remains closed until protesters' demands are met.

• On a final note, Burhan has outlined his conditions for a power sharing agreement (that no one wants) to the IGAD delegation:

  • "national reconciliation and consensus"

  • elections

  • allowing banned parties into government.
