17/7/2020: Radio Dabanga - New protests erupt in eastern Sudan and Darfur

 Radio Dabanga report on new protests erupting in Sudan, particularly in Kass in South Darfur, who demand: security, protection of the current agricultural season, the dismissal of corrupt locality officials, in particular the Kass police chief, and the provision of better services, giving a 72-hour deadline, warning that mass demonstrations will be held if “police continue to evade the implementation of arrest warrants against those accused of crimes committed in the locality”.

 Meanwhile, the sit-in in North Darfur’s Kabkabiya entered its ninth day, where protesters demand security, protection of the current agricultural season, and the dismissal of officials affiliated with al-Bashir’s regime.

 The sit-in’s media committee reported that the sit-in leadership did not receive a response so far from the Cabinet to a memorandum delivered to Khartoum four days earlier.
