Security forces fired tear gas and stun grenades as tens of thousands of people marched against military rule in Khartoum
The CCDS said that the fifth victim was hit in the chest by a tear gas canister fired by Sudanese troops.
A total of 53 people has been shot to death in the protests against military rule since October when the security forces’ crackdown began.
In April 2019, the Sudanese military removed Omar al-Bashir from his position as President of Sudan, dissolved the cabinet and the National Legislature, and announced a three-month state of emergency, to be followed by a two-year transition period.
Lt. Gen. Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf, who was both the defense minister of Sudan and the Vice President of Sudan, declared himself the de facto Head of State, announced the suspension of the country's constitution, and imposed a curfew from 10 pm to 4 am, effectively ordering the dissolution of the ongoing protests.
Along with the National Legislature and national government, state governments and legislative councils in Sudan were dissolved as well.
After the military coup, the United Nations released a statement urging the new government not to use violence against peaceful protestors. (ILKHA)
