A protester was killed by security forces in the Sudanese city of Omdurman on Monday, the 100th since the October coup.
The protester, the second to die after the state of emergency was lifted on May 29, may have been shot dead, the Sudanese Central Committee of Doctors said.
Demonstrations organized by neighborhood resistance committees began after the October military coup and continue. Most of the dead are young men, and army leaders have vowed to investigate the deaths.
The demonstrations in Omdurman, Khartoum’s twin city, began on Monday on the occasion of the visit of the junta leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
On October 25, 2021, General Burhan arrested the politicians with whom he shared power, ousted the transitional government and imposed a state of emergency in Sudan.
The country has been without a prime minister since January, and direct talks between political groups are set to begin this week as part of a process under the auspices of the UN and the African Union to reach a political agreement.
However, the former ruling political coalition, the Forces of Freedom and Change, announced that it would not participate in the talks as parties supporting the coup would take part in them. For their part, the resistance committees reject any negotiations with the army.
Burhan’s decision to lift the state of emergency was seen as a means of rebuilding trust, but since its lifting two protesters have already been killed.
