Last week, the US expressed concern “about the increasing number of arrests and detentions” and urged Khartoum to free “all journalists, activists and peaceful protesters who have been arbitrarily detained”. Meanwhile, the United States has warned that Sudan’s response to the protests might affect ties between the two countries. It denounced the move but said it would not be dissuaded from “working to overthrow the regime and build a new Sudan”. The opposition National Umma Party said in a statement that security forces surrounded its building in Omdurman and arrested several employees. “This sit-in is not just to mourn the 2005 deaths, but also to mourn the deaths of those who have died in the uprising since December,” Beja activist Abdallah Mussa told AFP news agency from Port Sudan. Since then, every year on January 29, Beja tribesmen mark the deaths with a sit-in at Port Sudan. In ensuing clashes with government forces, 21 demonstrators were killed, according to activists.

The 75-year-old leader is expected to run for another term in office next year. On Tuesday, hundreds of protesters turned up in and around the capital Khartoum, marching in memorial for those killed in past protests and reiterating their calls for al-Bashir’s removal.Īl-Bashir, who took power in a 1989 coup, has said any change of leadership could only come through the ballot box.

Officials say 30 people have died in violence during the protests, but human rights groups have put the death toll at more than 40. Rights groups say NISS arrested more than 1,000 people, including protesters, opposition leaders, activists and journalists, as part of its clampdown. 'For free accounts,' as a Flickr representative recently informed an SL content creator (see screengrab), 'linking to a store in Second Life is considered commercial activity. The protests, which began on December 19 after the government decided to triple the price of bread, have since turned into a nationwide movement calling for President Omar al-Bashir to step down. That move has roiled the huge community of Second Life users who rely on Flickr for sharing their virtual world screenshots, much of which feature SL fashion.
