Sudan suspends academic activities nationwide

Authorities in Sudan have indefinitely suspended academic calendar nationwide in the wake of the killing of five protesters earlier this week.

According to a report, the five victims included four students, who were shot dead on Monday during a rally in the town of Al-Obeid located in Central Sudan.

An unknown number of wounded persons was also reported.

A new round of protest was called after the incident with secondary school students protesting across the country seeking justice for those that were killed.

The current move also comes on the back of an outright condemnation of the incident by the Transitional Military Council, TMC, which has been leading the country after the mid-April overthrow of long serving Omar Al-Bashir.
