The mobile internet is no longer accessible. Activists who regularly organize online or broadcast images of their parades, will be deprived of access to social networks, a technique already used for nearly a month by General Abdel Fattah Al-Bourhane, head of the authorities of transition, since its coup d’état of October 25th.

On the eve of this new mobilization placed under the slogans “No negotiation” with the army and “military at the barracks!”, Khartoum’s governorate warned: all the bridges on the Nile were closed Friday evening and security forces “will take care of those who contravene the law and create chaos”.

48 demonstrators killed
