13-year-old girl among the latest deaths reported in Sudan’s military coup protests

A 13-year-old girl is one of the latest two deaths in protest against a military coup in Sudan.

On Monday, a doctor’s union said that during weekend protests, two more Sudanese protesters died in hospital from gunshot wounds. The Sudanese Medical Council said the two new dead were Remaaz Hatim al-atta, who was shot in the head in front of his home in Khartoum, and Omar Adam, who was shot in the neck during a protest in the same city. The committee stated that they were shot dead on October 25 and declared dead in the past 24 hours.

Thousands of pro-democracy protesters rallied against the military coup last month, which brought the death toll from Saturday’s protests to seven.

According to a report by the Associated Press, the committee stated that all but one had died from the shooting. In addition, the committee stated that when security forces used live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters in the capital Khartoum and its twin city Omdurman, more than 200 people were injured.

The Sudanese police stated that their troops only used tear gas to disperse protesters who allegedly attacked police stations and vehicles, and denied using live ammunition. They said that at least 39 policemen were injured on Saturday.

Two years after a popular uprising forced the long-time dictator Omar al-Bashir and his Islamic government to step down, the October 25 coup destroyed the transition plan to democratic rule.

The coup has received international criticism, and large-scale protests have occurred in Khartoum and other parts of the country. The Medical Council reported that since October 25, at least 23 protesters have been killed.

The association said it will work with the Resistance Committee and other groups in the Sudanese Democratic Movement to overthrow the military committee and establish a civilian government to lead the transition to democracy.
