This will be big all across #Sudan today.

This is what it looked like last year on June 30, in Al-Hasaheisa (الحصاحيصا). Just beautiful. . Check that thread, those peaceful protestors were met with violence. It's why we need to watch the #SudanUprising 👀

Police were blocking demonstrators on the Airport Street in #Khartoum here: goo.gl/maps/t48gYamSo… H/T @hakuunamtaata for 📹 #مليونيه30يونيو
