Student Deaths Threaten To Renew Sudan Unrest
The death of four students, allegedly at the hands of security forces, risks unleashing a new wave of anti-government unrest as Sudan struggles to contain internal divisions and a growing economic crisis, Reem Abbas writes from Khartoum.
A week ago [Dec. 7], dozens of students from Al-Jazeera University, 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Khartoum, camped in front of the morgue of Medani Hospital in Wad-Medani, the capital of Al-Jazeera state, guarding the corpses of two students.
Earlier that day, the bodies of the two first-year agricultural-studies students, Adil Hamad and Mohamed Younis, were found in a sewage pond not far from the university.
