Sudan: arrest of putsch opponents, strong pressure abroad

Sudanese security forces on Wednesday multiplied the arrests of activists and demonstrators in an attempt to end opposition to General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane's coup. At the end of the day, they faced demonstrators determined to maintain the barricades of their "general strike". Clashes took place in particular in the very restless district of Bourri, in the east of Khartoum where hundreds of demonstrators threw stones, or in the suburbs of Khartoum-Nord where the security forces used tear gas and rubber bullets, AFP correspondents noted. In the evening, the Ministry of Information, loyal to the ousted government, urged the international community to investigate violations against peaceful protesters. Abroad, the African Union and the World Bank have increased the pressure on the army: the first has suspended Sudan from its institutions and the second has stopped its aid, vital for this poor country plunged into the economic slump. and plagued by conflict.
