The University of Khartoum expelled five students on Sunday because of their involvement in protests against the alleged sale of the university buildings in central Khartoum.
A student told Radio Dabanga on Sunday that the Khartoum University administration announced that morning that Abdelmalik El Tijani Mukhtar, Yousef Mohamed Ibrahim, Idris Abdelkarim Gani, Mousa Mohamed Suleiman, and Imam Abdelhafiz Gesoum, were expelled.
In April last year, news about a planned sale of the university buildings was leaked to the media. The faculties would be moved to Soba district in south-east Khartoum.
