Sudan: Clashes Break Out At Sudan's University of Khartoum

Khartoum — On Sunday clashes broke out at the University of Khartoum between Darfuri students, their supporters, and militant students of the ruling National Congress Party (NCP), backed by security forces and university guards. The violence continued on Monday, as angry students set fire to the offices of university guards at the Shambat compound in Khartoum North. Riot police fired tear gas at dozens of students protesting outside the university's main campus in Khartoum against the violence, and the policies of President Al Bashir.

"The guards offices were set on fire in protest against the complicity of university guards with NCP student militants," one of the students told Radio Dabanga. "On Sunday we were attacked by guards and NCP students. Ten students were wounded. All this violence is happening not more than two weeks after the lectures resumed. They were suspended after student Ali Abakar Musa was murdered at the campus in March."
