Sudan: Security Forces Fire on Anti-Government Protesters
---------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, security forces opened fire today on a crowd of mourners
outside the home of a man who died after he was shot by authorities
during an earlier protest in the capital, Khartoum. This followed the
killing of two other protesters Thursday elsewhere in Khartoum-a doctor
and a 16-year-old, who were both shot in the head by government forces.
Protests erupted across Sudan a month ago calling for the overthrow of
the ruling National Congress Party and an end to the military regime of
President Omar Hassan al-Bashir.
