A demonstration of "mothers and fathers" took to the streets of Khartoum to support the young anti-coup protesters who have for months rallied against the military. "We are demonstrating today to tell our sons and daughters that they are not alone," Faiza Hussein, one of the protesters, said.
She added that they are also calling on the authorities to "stop killing our children". At least 83 people have been killed and thousands injured in unrest that has gripped the country since an October 25 military coup led by General Abdel Fattah al Burhan, according to independent medics.
"We are here to support the youth in their revolution, and to demand an end to the killings," said Hassan Ali, 63. A United Nations expert on Thursday urged Sudanese forces to stop firing live ammunition and tear gas canisters at protesters. - AFP
