The @netblocks study shows that restrictions are applied at ISP-level, meaning that blocking is not centralised — it happens at discretion of the individual companies like Zain and MTN which are using their own technical measures to selectively withhold internet acces in #Sudan.
Sudan entered its third day of protests with at least 12 people killed. Good write-up here by @MadaMasr with sources on the ground and verified footage. http://bit.ly/2T2ckj9
(Sorry — had minimal connection the past day. Will update soon with more verified material from Sudan.)
At least one 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer (№24 / 184033) has been spotted on a deep loader driving around in Sudan's capital Khartoum on 23 Dec 2018. #مدن_السودان_تنتفص h/t @AbraxasSpa @Rebel44CZpic.twitter.com/5FqWjBdU9R
That same Sudanese Professionals' Organisation has conducted studies into poverty. They state that the minimum wage should be SDG8,664 ($47.50) to meet the requirements of living. All employees in North Darfur are living under the poverty line, they state.https://twitter.com/samirasawlani/status/1077129342323490817 …
Toyotas, apparently belonging to the police, were taken over by protestors in the city of Gadaref on 23 Dec 2018.

Protestors attacked the Governmental Secretariat in Rabak, the capital of the White Nile State. It appears shots were being fired, though it is unclear what exactly happened.

The protestors in Rabak apparently got support from Sudanese Armed Forces, this video —also filmed in front of the Governmental Secretariat— appears to show. These two videos already appeared on 21/22 Dec 2018. Geolocation: 13.175942, 32.759670.pic.twitter.com/0gEdySwE54
The National Workers Bank in Rabak was also attacked by protestors, and suffered quite some damage. Here's a before and after photo of the bank in the centre of White Nile capital.

This video shows protestors in front of the ravaged National Workers Bank in Rabak, #Sudan. (Before and after photos in the tweet above.) Seems a wounded protestor is carried away. #مدن_السودان_تنتفض https://twitter.com/UdayEng/status/1076410162666237952/video/1 …
Indeed. Maj. Gen. Mohie al-Din al-Hadi apparently “asked those demonstrating to refrain from damaging public property, saying that he would protect protestors if they committed themselves to peaceful demonstration.” (via @MadaMasr)https://twitter.com/jnbptst/status/1077236532036149249 …
Geolocating the widespread #SudanUprising on a @ushahidi map. Happy that we @Bellingcat can contribute a tiny bit to this. Please @ or DM me if you want to see specific footage or reports from a location verified and I'll do my best. https://sure2018.ushahidi.io/views/map pic.twitter.com/QFHYATjNTx
Seems that cars (mostly Toyotas, seemingly owned by the police) were already being burned in Qadarif on 20 Dec 2018. Here's a whole batch of photos, same geolocation as this photo: https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1077211905213763584 ….

More Chinese-made Norinco tear gas canisters, reportedly fired near the Al-Hilal Stadium (ملعب الهلال) in Omdurman, #Sudan, on 23 Dec 2018. Different kind than these ones, though: https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1076098981820657665 …. H/t @ramah_kamal.pic.twitter.com/a63Yja6fwp
In a live broadcast speech, Hamadati speaks out against Sudan's “corrupt” government. Hamadati is the leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF, formerly Janjaweed) which is administered by Bashir-loyal NISS and commanded by SAF.

“Hamadati” or “Hemeti” —a nickname for Mohamed Hamdan Dogolo— defected to the government along with thousands of militiamen in 2007-2008 during the War in Darfur. Now, 10 years later, it seems he seizes the #مدن_السودان_تنفض moment to turn on President Bashir.
(It's worth mentioning that I've seen several Sudanese #مدن_السودان_تنفض protestors disavow Hemeti and his speech, saying he is a “corrupt”, “hypocrite” and/or “criminal”.)
Given today's speech, this report on Khartoum's reliance on local militias to fight periphery wars is worth reading. Sure, it's cheap.. but militia leaders are demanding more financial and political rewards, and their loyalty has become more unreliable. http://www.smallarmssurveysudan.org/fileadmin/docs/issue-briefs/HSBA-IB-27-Sudanese-paramilitary-forces.pdf …pic.twitter.com/O2L89T816v
Large protests continue in Khartoum today. There's a lot of footage coming out, some of which are livestreams. @BenDoBrown is watching one of them, and gunshots are being heard. Activists also upload footage of the alleged live rounds that were fired. https://twitter.com/anaskonss/status/1077528722285228033/video/1 ….
There's also heavy security presence in Khartoum, such as this video shows. It's filmed at Nile St (15.607218, 32.505263), but geolocation is not necessarily of much use: much unclarity atm about RSF, SAF, NISS and police activity and their loyalties.pic.twitter.com/msZjkf2Jxd
From 2015: “Analysts said the inevitable outcome of the Janjaweed's deployment in Khartoum and the conflict zones will be a crisis which would bring chaos to Khartoum, as the Janjaweed are an undisciplined militia and their leader wants to gain power.”https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/politics/2015/5/25/the-janjaweed-sudans-ticking-time-bomb …
Yassir Abdallah, a journalist for the Al-Sudani newspaper, has reportedly been taken to hospital after he was harmed by security personnel who are claimed to have fired ammunition into the newspaper's office. Seems a gunshot can be heard in this video.pic.twitter.com/sTNCtJsnZz
(There's honestly too much going on to keep track of, and to verify all the claims, apologies for that.)
Security personnel appear to be using tear gas grenades with a pink additive, probably to allow them to identify people affected with the gas. Online, people make fun of it: “The revolutionaries are praising its romantic color.” H/t @MeKassab @3arabawyhttps://twitter.com/kambal_sara/status/1077548338143260672 …
Here's footage of plain-clothed and uniformed persons beating and throwing people into the back of a white pick-up truck. Gunshots are heard.

For the record: that video is from the exact same location in Rufaa (Al Jazirah State), where this photo was taken (https://www.google.com/maps/place/14%C2%B046'14.8%22N+33%C2%B021'47.7%22E/@14.770317,33.362082,290m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x168b823778d80b5d:0x27aa2237def5491b!2sAl+Jazirah,+Sudan!3b1!8m2!3d14.8859611!4d33.438353!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d14.7707751!4d33.3632352 …). https://twitter.com/COX3G7XGWTYr8lD/status/1077548902713298945 …pic.twitter.com/IvaHX9w7fQ
An “Anonymous” campaign dubbed #OpSudan has started to take down Sudanese governmental websites.

Protests #مدن__السودان_تنتفض are also raging in South Kordofan. These protestors stand near at least one compound on fire —allegedly a NISS office— in Tartar (الترتر) on 23 Dec 2018. @sentinel_hub satellite imagery appears to show the fire damage. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10157078417174974&id=678619973 ….pic.twitter.com/efoQbqSH6K
