Mass demonstrations in Sudan, starting on 19 December 2018, have spread across the country, calling for the resignation of President Omar al-Bashir. The protests, organized by the Sudanese Professionals Association and supported by various opposition groups, are a response to economic hardships and political repression. The government has responded with increased media censorship, arrests, and violence, leading to numerous injuries and deaths. International bodies and foreign governments have condemned the Sudanese government's actions, while local journalists face severe restrictions and threats. The situation remains volatile, with calls for regional and international pressure to address the crisis.
