Sudan Protesters Mark Anniversary of Uprising that Ousted Omar al-Bashir
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets across
the country to mark the first anniversary of the mass popular uprising
that ousted longtime ruler Omar al-Bashir. The protesters demanded
justice for those killed during the popular protests last year and vowed
to continue the political revolution. This is Fatma Ali.

Fatma Ali: "Thank God, the revolution is moving toward the right
direction. But there's still more to be done in the state. We're asking
about all those responsible. Where are they? And why aren't they being
punished? Those who are corrupt, such as the former President Omar
al-Bashir, he should not be treated like a president. Al-Bashir belongs
on trial at The Hague."
