Boy killed in protest in North Kordofan, others wounded

A secondary school student was killed in Sunday's protests in the capital of North Kordofan, sparking a protest march in anger. At least one person, a basic school pupil, was wounded.

Witnesses told Radio Dabanga that demonstrations broke out on Sunday evening in El Galaa, Amir, and Arbaa districts, calling for the overthrowing of President Omar Al Bashir and his regime from power. Security forces confronted the protesters with live bullets and tear gas, which led to the death of secondary school student Ahmed Seifeldin.

Two persons sustained injuries, including seven-year-old basic school pupil Shahad Abdallah.

Following the death of Ahmed, demonstrations broke out on Monday morning and people rallied before the Sudanese army's general command in El Obeid, condemning the assassination of the boy and demanding punishment for the crime.

Eyewitnesses told Radio Dabanga that a protest march was launched from the Dalil tombs after the body of Ahmed Seifeldin was buried. People joined the march from the market and various districts and rallied before the General Command in El Obeid.
