Sudanese forces killed Sunday two protestors in Omdurman, medics reported, as thousands of nationals demonstrated against the military following the coup that toppled the government in Khartoum.

The Sudanese Doctors' Committee said one of the protesters was shot in the chest, and the other suffered a "severe head wound."

The police crackdown on protestors has led to some 56 deaths since anti-coup demonstrations kicked off in Sudan and left hundreds of others wounded.

A few weeks ago, Sudanese security forces fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who rallied near the presidential palace in Khartoum in rejection of the military coup.

On its part, the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors stated that 62 protesters were injured during demonstrations.

Furthermore, the Sudanese Professionals Association called for a peaceful million-strong protest on December 19, 25, and 30, against the appointment of the military council following the coup in Sudan.

Protests in Sudan

Hundreds of Sudanese are demonstrating in the capital and surrounding neighborhoods to denounce the agreement signed by army chief General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan with Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok last month.

The agreement stipulated that Hamdok would be reinstated to his earlier position, and all political prisoners imprisoned since the October coup would be released.

The United Nations had said last month about 14.3 million people would need humanitarian assistance in Sudan in 2022, which is an increase of 8 million people compared to 2021, and the highest in a decade.

The UN added that two years after Sudan was experiencing a wave of political transitions and one year from the Juba Peace Agreement, humanitarian needs have continued to grow across the country.

The political atmosphere in the country is expected to further exacerbate the crisis and add more people to the vulnerable population in need of humanitarian aid.
