CAIRO (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 23rd December, 2018) Kuwait's embassy in Khartoum has called on its citizens to leave Sudan, which is currently engulfed in mass protests, for their own safety, local media reported.
Kuwait's diplomatic mission has also urged the country's nationals to avoid traveling to Sudan and called on those who are already in the country to stay away from rallies and follow the instructions issued by Sudanese officials, the KUNA news agency said on Saturday.
The protests erupted in the eastern Sudanese cities of Qadarif and Atbara on Wednesday over the government's decision to increase bread prices. People took to the streets in other cities across the country as well to protest rising prices and to express discontent with poor economic situation in the country in general.
At least 10 people have reportedly been killed in clashes with security forces, with Qadarif authorities introducing a state of emergency in the city on Thursday.
