Four killed in Sudan as protesters launch civil disobedience campaignKHARTOUM: Four people were killed in Sudan on Sunday as protesters launched a civil disobedience campaign against the military after a bloody crackdown on a sit-in demonstration calling for civilian rule. Following the call for the campaign of civil disobedience, protesters set about building roadblocks in Khartoum while markets and shops were closed in several other towns and cities. The health ministry says 61 people died nationwide in Monday’s crackdown, 49 of them by “live ammunition” in Khartoum. In the capital’s northern Bahari district, people gathered tires, tree trunks and rocks to build new roadblocks as the campaign began Sunday.
