Sudan Protesters March To Army HQ For The First Time.
Thousands of Sudanese demonstrators marched in Khartoum Saturday, many reaching the army headquarters for the first time since deadly protests against President Omar al-Bashir erupted last year, witnesses said.
The crowds chanted the catchcry of the movement “peace, justice, freedom,” as they marched through the streets of Khartoum and reached the army building, which is also the defence ministry, according to onlookers. Since emergency rule came into effect, the demonstrations have been largely confined to the capital and its twin city of Omdurman, but organisers had called for widespread rallies and a march on the army headquarters on Saturday.April 6 was chosen for the nationwide rallies as it was the day of a 1985 uprising that toppled the then regime of president Jaafar Nimeiri.
Witnesses said plainclothes security agents were preventing even passers-by from reaching downtown areas.
