Reports on several wounded protesters, arrests of scores, itching from the colored water (skunk) Some mentioned it smelled like sulphur & itches like hell.
So far no mention of live ammo.
Wikileaks Al-Fashir traced the violence in the Blue Nile state to SPLM-N Malik Agar, who charged the native administration’s structure by appointing one of his relatives as chief for all the Blue Nile tribes.
👈🏼chose a chief for the Hausa & decided the geographical limits of the tribe’s lands as well as a site for an administrative building that didn’t sit well with the Hausa (no explanation)
The new Hausa chief decided to prohibit all Hausa girls from working in the market 👉🏼 #Sudan
👈🏼& other public places after one of the Hausa girls was sexually harassed. He even set checkpoints to intercept the Hausa girls who defy him & go to work, they often get beaten & returned home.
King Adlan of the Blue Nile tribes summoned the chief & asked him to stop 👉🏼 #Sudan
I’ll start with @pavan_777 excellent report:
“At least 37 deaths were confirmed by the NGO Walking Borders, while Moroccan authorities claimed that 23 died in a “stampede”
#Morocco has been so eager to please the EU at any price.
Association Marocaine des Droit Humaines - Section Nador - has been following up on the victims.
Information & photos are published regularly on their Facebook page: facebook.com/AmdhNador/
I’ll compile a list to raise awareness & maybe help identify someone. #Sudan#SudanCoup
#SudanCoup
When the intl community suggests “dialogue with the military”, I think they are missing one important difference between the Sudanese military & the norm in the rest of the world - with a few exceptions:
The ousted fascist islamist regime has fundamentally changed—->
<—the nature & hierarchy of the armed forces. 1989 coup planning took long time & meticulous preparations. They recruited officers to the NCP & radicalized their beliefs so that their loyalty is to the islamists ideology outweighs their loyalty to the country & their mission—>
<— the top generals are compromised beyond rehabilitation. Same generals became the Security Committee of Bashir regime & took over when he was ousted in 2019. Then they rebranded to Transitional Military Council #TMC amid the protests & sit-ins. They continued to quell descent—>
The 2019 constitutional document was disputed & now practically dead. No one dares go against the will of the streets right now except a few affiliates of the ousted regime.
This statement is problematic & doesn’t rises to the level of the people’s aspirations. #keepEyesOnSudan
The only positive thing is not recognizing any PM appointment by the junta. #SudanCoup leaders are scrambling right now to find someone to designate as the new civilian face of their kleptocratic totalitarian regime - rumors are flying around all day long.
The statement is also contradictory; they encourage dialogue which involves #SudanCoup leaders being part of the upcoming government, but at the same time wanting to hold the people responsible for the atrocities accountable. Those perps are the coup leaders. 🤦🏽♀️ #KeepEyesOnSudan
It is far from true. Even @TiborPNagyJr government doesn’t agree with his assessment. To make this objective; one should list the reasons & perceived similarities between Sudan & in this case Libya. Not just agree with a shallow blanket statement like mr Nagy’s. #KeepEyesOnSudan
I’d start with the fact that there’s virtually no difference between Bashir regime & Burhan’s. The RSF & other militias existed & were more vicious then. When Bashir’s regime fell his security committee took over & they had to share power with civilians. We didn’t become Libya!▶️
If you think the parallel is the tribal society, this is also false argument, because the nature is completely different. We’re moving away from tribalism. Just take a look at the protesters, what they want & who they represent.
Besides the non-violence. We won’t carry arms.▶️
