Protesters in Khartoum Demand Justice for Massacre Victims

Naba Mohiedeen

   KHARTOUM - Thousands of people marched in Khartoum and other Sudanese
   cities Monday to mark the October 1964 uprising that ended the
   dictatorship of Ibrahim Aboud. The protesters, however, focused on the
   present, and made demands that stem from the recent ouster of former
   leader Omar al-Bashir.

   They used the occasion to call for an independent investigation into
   themassacre on June 3, 2019, when dozens of people were killed as
   military forces cleared pro-democracy protesters away from the Defense
   Ministry in Khartoum.
