Sudanese Protesters Encounter Tear Gas During March

Anti-government protesters faced down tear gas as they marched through the streets of Omdurman, Sudan on Sunday, January 20.

Sunday’s protest was one of hundreds railing against rising prices and calling for the resignation of President Omar Al-Bashir since December 19, according to Al Jazeera.

As hundreds of Sudanese have taken to the streets in the past month, security forces have responded to the demonstrations with force, using tear gas and live ammunition to break up protests. The Sudanese government estimates 26 have been killed, but human rights groups have placed the number at 55.
