KHARTOUM - Thousands of protesters held a sit-in outside Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir’s residence in central Khartoum on Sunday, having camped there overnight following the biggest demonstration in months of protests against his 30-year rule, witnesses said.
Bashir has refused to step down, saying that his opponents need to seek power through the ballot box. The protesters urged the military to side with them once more in their bid to push Bashir out of power. The person killed on Saturday was a laboratory doctor who died of his injuries, according to a statement from an opposition doctors’ committee. Medical staff have played a prominent role in the protests.
