Sudanese anti-coup protest draw heavy hand crackdown

Khartoum: Detention hit, fast, and arbitrary – Sudan protesters say security forces have used frenzied violence to protest the streets of the country’s newest military coup.
Because the power took on Monday, security forces had been deployed on the streets of the capital Khartoum and so on.
Some protrosity drawing gloomy parallel with life under Autocrat Omar al-Bashir, the three decades in power only ended in April 2019, when the military was pushed to his deposit with a very large street protest against the iron government.
“All security on the streets now looks like Era Bashir’s force,” said one protester, Hanaa Hassan.
Protests were dissolved by tear gas and live bullets left in four people died, according to the Independent Doctor Union.
On Wednesday, military forces also invaded the official building office of Suna and forced all journalists, according to journalists, who asked for anonymity for fear of retaliation.
Students have been among those who attract the attention of security forces.
On Monday night, troops were trying to prevent meetings from invading student accommodation at Khartoum University.
“Our dormitory was invaded by armed men in military fatigue, who gathered us in a shared room and confiscated our telephone,” said a female student, Reyan told AFP, refusing to give the last name to reply.
“They beat some of us with a whip and asked us to immediately leave the hostel.” Plastic police officers have set a random checkpoint on the main streets of the capital, when a pick-up truck carrying a gunman with closed faces roaming the streets.
The car was stopped for random search, passing people, and the telephone and identity were examined, according to witnesses.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Head of State Sudan since 2019, on Monday declared a national emergency, dissolved the government, and implanted the minister and civil members of the body and cabinet in power.
Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was arrested before he was escorted at home – although allegedly sounded by Cordon security around his house – late Tuesday after intense international pressure for his release.
Other students, Emad, who lived in a male university dormitory, said his head was forcibly shaved.
“They also beat many of us with a whip,” he added.
Online videos have shown students who report the attack, with the voices of other people screaming in the background.
“A military man hit me with all his strength in my hand and in my head,” said a female student in a video, with blood flowing on his face.
AFP cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video.
On Wednesday, street barricades founded by demonstrators were dismantled.
Forced security of people passing – by helping to tear down obstacles and those who refused to be beaten with a whip, according to AFP correspondent.
The hard action swept away several pro-democracy activists, including Sedeq al-Sadiq al-Mahdi from Sudan’s biggest political party, the party of the Umma.
The arrest also included lawyer Ismail Al-Taj from the Sudanese professional association, union umbrella which played an important role in protest against Bashir.
The association called for “million strong protests” on October 30, stating that “revenge” violence had soared very strongly because Hamdok was allowed to go home.
The coup Monday came in the middle of the rocky transition described in the 2019 power sharing agreement between the Sudanese generals who overthrow Bashir, and civil figures who pioneered protests against their government.
In front of the coup, the rival protest took to the streets, with one demanding back to the military government.
But tens of thousands responded with demonstrations that demanded full civilian government.
Analysts said the coup was far from surprising, and is expected to be fulfilled by severe civilian resilience.
