Last week, President Omar al-Bashir declared a year-long state of emergency and issued a slew of orders to curb nationwide protests against his rule.
KHARTOUM - Hundreds of Sudanese protesters rallied on Thursday against the rule of President Omar al-Bashir in the capital and its twin city of Omdurman despite a ban imposed on unauthorised rallies, witnesses said.
“The only alternative we have is to overthrow this regime. We will continue despite the state of emergency.” The protests swiftly mushroomed into nationwide rallies against Bashir’s rule stretching back three decades, with people calling on him to step down.
