Blood in Sudan during the demonstrations against the military coup.

According to reports from the international media, the latest street initiatives organized to demand greater democracy have been dispersed by soldiers with gunfire.

The toll, which speaks of at least seven dead and over one hundred injured, in the capital Khartoum and in the other cities of the country that hosted the marches is tragic.

The armed forces led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who since the beginning of the protest - last autumn - have started a harsh repression of dissent, which has claimed over 70 deaths in total, in the sights of the protest.

Local sources denounce for the first time the use of heavy weapons against civilians, in addition to the usual water cannons and tear gas.

The chaos in Sudan - a nation with almost 50 million inhabitants, among the poorest on Earth - has persisted since 2019, when the dictator Omar al-Bashir was deposed, under popular pressure and with the complicity of the army. Army that now controls the country by ruling with an iron fist.
