New Sudan riots after 29 dead in fuel protests

AFP – Fresh rioting erupted in Sudan on Thursday as protests sparked by the government scrapping fuel subsidies raged into a fourth day and medics reported an overall toll of 29 dead. Thousands of people protested in the capital and in the country’s north.

THE NORTH AFRICAN COUNTRY of Sudan was almost completely cut off from the internet on Wednesday, as its government might have severed connections in the midst of rioting in the country and the nation’s capital of Khartoum.
