Demonstrators urged UK and Scottish leaders to help protect those trying to escape the African nation
Protestors in Glasgow have called for the UK government to open safe corridors for refugees fleeing the war in Sudan.
An estimated 400 people have already been killed and thousands more injured in the two-week conflict, which was sparked by a power struggle between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary force. Those gathered for the city centre demonstration held up signs with messages such as 'Say not to war in Sudan' and 'Open safe passages'.
