Iran Press/Africa: On Monday, five demonstrators, including four students, were killed during riots in the town of El-Obeid in the northern province of Sudan.
Sudanese students held demonstrations in protest of fuel and bread shortages, Iran Press reported.
The crisis in Sudan began on December 19, 2018, with popular protests against the worsening economic situation and rising prices, especially the price of bread and fuel, and has gained widespread political, economic and security dimensions through military intervention and their efforts to suppress the protesters.
The current move also comes on the back of an outright condemnation of the incident by the Transitional Military Council, TMC, which has been leading the country after the mid-April overthrow of long-serving Omar Al-Bashir.
Sudan's Transitional Military Council has taken power in Sudan since the April 11 coup and the ousting of former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, but the people are demanding a civilian government continues their protests.
Since December, the repression of the protest has left 246 people dead, including 127 demonstrators killed on June 3 at the scene of a sit-in in Khartoum, according to a report by the medical committee provided before the Al-Obeid demonstrations. Sudanese authorities have given divergent and inferior assessments. 205/217/201
