Sudanese authorities Imposes Curfew After Protest
The Sudanese authorities have imposed a curfew in the towns of Port Sudan and Suakin following protests over the sacking of the governor of the state of Kassala.
The curfew – from 12:00 until 04:00 local time – comes after roads between Port Sudan and the capital Khartoum were blocked.
On Tuesday Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok fired Governor Saleh Ammar whose appointment had sparked ethnic protests that prevented him from reporting to work.
Several people died in the violence.
The prime minister’s appointment of civilian governors in all 18 states has sparked ethnic rivalries in some parts of Sudan.
