CAIRO (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 14th May, 2019) More than 10 people were injured as a result of shooting and explosions on one of the squares in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, which is a site of mass protests, according to media reports.
Some of the injured people are in a critical condition, the Sky news Arabia broadcaster reported. The media outlet also reported about intensive shooting and explosions at the square. The protesters are accusing followers of the toppled President Omar Bashir of being responsible for the outbreak of violence.
Sudan experienced a military coup on April 11 following four months of anti-government protests. President Bashir, who had been in power for 30 years, was overthrown and then imprisoned. The Transitional Military Council (TMC) came to power and pledged to hold a new election within two years. However, the opposition did not approve this plan and called on the TMC to immediately hand over power to civilian structures.
