Two young men were shot dead and at least 28 others were wounded in front of the army command in Khartoum when army forces dispersed a group of people commemorating the June 3 2019 Khartoum Massacre.

 A large number of activists subsequently gathered in front of the Royal Care Hospital in downtown Khartoum, where protestor Osman Ahmed died of his wounds. They chanted slogans demanding justice. A second activist died in Zaytouna Hospital.

The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) responded in a statement that “no instructions were issued to the forces protecting the army command to use live ammunition against the people.”

The statement added that “What happened will be subject to investigation. The results will be disclosed to the public, and the perpetrators brought to justice”.
