4/5/19: AP – Sudan protesters say security attempted to break up sit-in

 AP reports that the the Sudanese Professionals Association, which has spearheaded more than four months of protests, said security forces and “remnants of the ousted regime” tried to forcibly disperse protesters outside a military facility in the city of Nyala, in Darfur.

 Activist Mustafa Baz said clashes erupted when marchers from a refugee camp in Darfur attempted to join the sit-in. The SPA said “many” protesters were wounded.

 South Darfur governor Hashim Mahmoud said around 5,000 people marched from the Otash camp and clashed with troops outside the military facility. He said security forces used tear gas to disperse the protesters, and that at least four shoulders were wounded, with no wounded protesters
