Sudanese doctors have not only been treating those caught up in the violence, but also leading some protests. And now, medics appear to have become targets themselves. @YousraElbagir reports.https://www.channel4.com/news/sudans-opposition-calls-for-more-protests-against-omar-al-bashir …
Thousands protested against Bashir's 29-year autocratic rule, marching on his Nile-side palace, chanting “Freedom peace, and justice, revolution is the people's choice!”https://apnews.com/65b2d92e3bf54504835e8e69d22f1fa0 …
What appears to be a Korean-made Jino riot control vehicle (№ 39276) was spotted in Khartoum's Al Souq Al Arabi today (geolocation https://www.google.com/maps/place/15%C2%B035'54.4%22N+32%C2%B031'23.9%22E/@15.598439,32.5227608,270m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m13!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x4ee35b0bd6149c54!2z2LXZitmG2YrYqSDYp9mE2YLZhtiv2YjZhA!8m2!3d15.5985578!4d32.5233752!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d15.598439!4d32.5233077 …). First time this vehicle is deployed at the #مدن_السـودان_تنتفض protests, some activists say. H/t @elhadi_mohamd.pic.twitter.com/10wdAmextg
Worth mentioning that Jino riot control vehicle series (JRC) are divided by water tank capacity: 6500, 9000, and 12000. Customer can request to model it per chassis, e.g. Mercedes Benz, MAN, Hino, Tata, or Daewoo.
South Sudan bars media from covering #مدن_السـودان_تنتفض: “The ongoing protests in Khartoum are internal issues affecting a friendly nation, the media in South Sudan should not write or broadcast instigative statements and comments about it” H/t @EricaMa16 https://radiotamazuj.org/en/news/article/south-sudan-media-regulator-bars-media-from-covering-sudan-protests …pic.twitter.com/zLQ1pMCsZF
Anti-government graffiti seen in Atbara, #Sudan — the city where the current #مدن_السـودان_تنتفض protests started. It refers to Bashir's autocratic regime, saying “It must fall and nothing less” (تسقط بس). H/t @3ozaz.pic.twitter.com/679cwSPTmj
Disturbing footage from Sudan, showing persons — allegedly Central Reserve Police (CRP) — firing into the premises of one of Omdurman's main hospitals. It was filmed from here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/15%C2%B038'32.1%22N+32%C2%B029'16.5%22E/@15.6422876,32.4872714,274m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m9!1m2!2m1!1shospital!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d15.6422482!4d32.4879174 …. #مدن_السـودان_تنتفض (h/t @jehannehenry).pic.twitter.com/9AespFJOI3
10 days into the #مدن_السـودان_تنتفض protests, an “unidentified philanthropist” flew reportedly 32 tonnes of flour into Sudan with an Ilyushin IL-76TD (RA-76352) on 29 Dec 2018. Extremely high bread prices were one of the catalysts for the ongoing demonstrations.pic.twitter.com/fJcdZdGKDL
The IL-76TD (RA-76352) has been used for @WFP flights before. Public flight tracking data courtesy of @flightradar24 shows the Ilyushin departed from Moscow (ZIA) on 29 Dec 2018, but the signal is lost when the plane neared Egypt. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ra-76352#1f044f47 …pic.twitter.com/bVffWqCLX5
Sudanese forces attacked a hospital (see tweets above) with tear gas and live ammo. Lots of UGC available, but still very little coverage in international media. Fortunately, @Channel4News (e.g. @DariusBazargan) has produced an excellent report on this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPXZZ2F8-Pg …
With rumours of Russian military and PMC activity in Sudan, here's a throwback to 2008, when a MiG-29F fighter jet was shot down in Khartoum by Justice and Equality Movement rebels. Surprisingly, the pilot was a Russian national. (H/t @EihabAD). https://www.sudantribune.com/Russia-says-fighter-pilot-shot,27350 …
Visual evidence of Ural-4320 trucks in Khartoum appeared in late Dec 2018. Russian speaking persons were present, activists claimed. With help of @3ozaz who recognised Aman Petrol, this specific photo was geolocated to Omdurman.

What appears to be a Jino riot control vehicle that was spotted on 6 Jan (https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1082026884261646340?s=20 …) has been spotted again today in Bahri (northern Khartoum). (

Sudanese activists and others are trying to ID this object. Any idea? (H/t @john_marquee)https://twitter.com/Ahmed_Shaweesh/status/1084445606590980099?s=20 …
This object looks similar to the one above. https://twitter.com/Blaugrana_Hvana/status/1084460191955996672?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/ZjThlU0DIN
More photos of what appears to be a similar, still unidentified, object, reportedly used by security forces in Sudan during the protests. First photo includes a Norinco tear gas canister as well. (h/t @john_marquee, photos via @mogamohammed2 and @Alimahmoud09).pic.twitter.com/zy9Gskohk7
This photo of what appears to be an improvised spike strip is shared among Sudanese activists. Security forces have been using pick-up truck to advance on protestors, and this may impede or stop their vehicles, it is hoped. (H/t @john_marquee)pic.twitter.com/z7o58L2Z7h
Persons dressed in military fatigue and others in civilian clothes severely beating a person at Al-Mauna Street in Bahri, Khartoum, before placing him in a white Toyota Land Cruiser pick-up truck.

Unconfirmed reports that Sudanese security forces are using a DJI Inspire drone to monitor the protests.https://twitter.com/Rofaidayassin/status/1085226734876803072 …
Monitoring protests in the year 2019.. As if you're standing in the middle of it. Here are two 360-degree videos of the #مدن_السودان_تنتفض protests in Sudan. https://www.facebook.com/abdalla.gafar.3/posts/10161331044390707 …pic.twitter.com/LtfI8TM2O0
The nationwide protests in #Sudan take place almost every day for over a month now. Footage keeps coming in, sometimes showing security forces firing tear gas, live ammunition, and detaining protestors. This is footage from today. (H/t @john_marquee).pic.twitter.com/UkeispSEfn
And once again, Sudanese security forces are firing tear gas at a medical facility. Two weeks ago it was the Omdurman Teaching Hospital (https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1083143537200451584 …), today it is the Elrazi University's Education Hospital.https://twitter.com/BenDoBrown/status/1088433186886037504 …
Footage of yesterday shows how a white pick-up truck, apparently belonging to Sudanese security forces, drives over a small group of protesters.pic.twitter.com/f2PwhSEosC
Used tear-gas canisters are used to write a popular anti-government slogan “تسقط بس” (“It must fall and nothing less”), referring to the Bashir.pic.twitter.com/67X39ykYNo
Slightly more alluring translation of “تسقط بس” is “Just fall, that is all”, as used in this report by @declanwalsh, which discusses Babiker Salama, a 27-year-old doctor who died after he was apparently hit in his upper torso by shotgun pallets on 17 Jan.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/24/world/africa/sudan-protests-omar-hassan-al-bashir.html …
“NISS found the thatcher [pick-up truck] that ran over the mourners in front of the martyr's house.” (Activists ridiculing a statement of a Sudanese government spokesperson who claimed that Babiker had been shot by a women who pulled a pistol from her purse.)pic.twitter.com/JV2LxQxmT7
(Some context for the photo above: activists are referring to a recent incident where, reportedly, a NISS pick-up truck ran over a group of people that were demonstrating near the house of a student that was allegedly killed during the protests.)
Sudanese activists use fired tear gas canisters as a pen case, motorbike handle bar, and as a plant pot. (Similar usage seen before in Gaza and the West Bank: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2441997/Palestinian-gardener-uses-spent-tear-gas-canisters-PLANT-POTS.html ….)pic.twitter.com/ItZ2v0gJai
