Sudan university students hold major protest: witness

AFP – Sudanese university students armed with sticks and stones on Wednesday staged perhaps their largest protest since unrest sparked by inflation began nearly a month ago, a witness said. Security forces fired tear gas, said the witness, adding the students at the University of Khartoum were shouting.

Sudanese security forces are using live ammunition and increasingly aggressive tactics against unprecedented anti-government demonstrations sparked by inflation, a senior opposition figure alleged on Wednesday. Mariam al-Mahdi, the daughter of former prime minister Sadiq al-Mahdi, said the Wad Nubawi.
