Hundreds of protesters marched again in and around Sudan's capital Khartoum on Sunday, the fourth week of unrest that began over skyrocketing prices and a failing economy but which now calls for the ouster of autocratic President Omar al-Bashir. One group, hundreds strong, appeared to have reached Bahary's main train station. Sudan's economy has stagnated for most of al-Bashir's rule, but its recent lows have been dramatic, prompting the protests. Already among the longest serving leaders in the region, al-Bashir hopes to win another term in office during elections next year. Sudan's General Prosecutor said nine of those killed were in Gadaref, a province southeast of Khartoum close to the Ethiopian and Eritrean borders.
