22/4/19: Washington Post - Sudan's Omar al-Bashir jailed these protesters. They're back on the street with new demands., by Max Bearak

 In Max Bearak's feature piece, two recently released Sudanese political prisoners, Amani Hamid of the Sudanese Communist party and Bakri Gibril, a lawyer and activist, “recounted their...mistreatment as a way of describing repression under [Omar Al] Bashir - something they fear could play out again if the current military transitional government is left in control.” 

 Gibril was held in Shendi prison's “Refrigerator,” where prisoners have no blankets and the air conditioning is constantly on full-blast, "[making] it hard to have thoughts."

 Guards falsely told Gibril and Hamid that the protests had failed, but Gibril knew it was a lie because more prisoners were coming in. Both do not believe that Al Bashir is in prison.

 Gibril said that “compromise now means letting history repeat itself,” with Hamid labelling the military-led group replacing Al Bashir as “just another coup,” and calling for the continuation of peaceful protests.
