KHARTOUM - Sudanese demonstrators on Thursday rolled out a banner honoring fallen protesters over a square where ousted president Omar al-Bashir held a large rally in his final months in power, a symbolic move that left some in tears.
At the top of a two-tier concrete stand where only Bashir and his allies were once allowed to appear, young men covered a giant sign reading “The Green Square” with a banner carrying the words: “Justice first ... loyalty to the revolution’s martyrs”. Security forces including the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have occasionally cracked down on protests, and in early June crushed a sit-in outside the Defense Ministry, killing dozens.
They also had a stick, which protesters regularly accuse RSF troops of using to beat people. Raising them high in the air, they sang chants against the paramilitary group. The demonstration caps “Justice first week”, a series of rallies organized by the SPA to demand retribution for those killed at protests.In January, three months before the military overthrew and detained him, Bashir held a rally in the Green Square, accusing the protest movement of being foreign agents and challenging them to seek power through the ballot box.
