Protests organized by the opposition committees have drawn hundreds and thousands of people, and it is estimated that 79 have been killed and more than 2000 are injured.

According to one university student of Salah Hamid, a 22 year old, “we will continue this protest until we bring down military rule and bring back the democracy in Sudan.”

Other demonstrations took place across the Nile in the cities of Omdurman and Bahri and farther away in Gadarif and Sennar.

While some protesters in Khartoum said, they were against the normalization of ties with Israel that the military has spearheaded.

While others paraded for the more than 2,000 people lawyers say have been arrested since the coup.

As per the lawyer, more than 100 were in prison; this statement came on February 10 Thursday.
