On Sunday, resistance committees in Khartoum organised demonstrations as part of the\u00a0October protest escalation schedule marking\u00a0the first ‘anniversary’ of the October 25\u00a0coup, calling for\u00a0comprehensive civilian rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The authorities used excessive violence on demonstrators in Khartoum North and Omdurman. Large demonstrations also took place in the El Kalaklat and Abu Adam neighbourhoods in Khartoum on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On October 6, activists reported to Radio Dabanga that a number of protesters were injured in the Khartoum marches as a result of the use of excessive violence and tear gas used by security forces. They also reported forces chasing protesters inside their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A number of protests against police violence have taken place this year in Khartoum state, including submission of a memorandum<\/a> calling for an end to the ongoing police violence against activists and demonstrators in El Kalakla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

55 resistance committees and revolutionary bodies have now signed a\u00a0new Revolutionary Charter for the Establishment of the People\u2019s Authority, a political vision for the resistance committees, which became active<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Salary vigil\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a separate protest on Sunday, workers of\u00a0the Ministry of Health in Khartoum held a vigil to demand better salaries, following a wave of strikes<\/a> last month across the country. Participants chanted slogans calling on the Ministry of Finance and the Governor of Khartoum to combat Sudan\u2019s economic crisis<\/a> more quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Along with a salary increase, workers demanded a clothing allowance and other job benefits, highlighting a severe lack of incentives compared to the country\u2019s soaring inflation. FEWS NET stated on September 30 that the month\u2019s staple food prices<\/a> remain 250-300 per cent above respective prices last year, and 550-700 per cent above the five-year average in Sudan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
