The name of the young Sudanese man Awad Hashem topped social media platforms in Sudan. Activists talked about his death following the battles taking place in the country since mid-April.

The young man, who was suffering from mental illness, caught the attention of its patrons with videos in which he spontaneously called for the preservation of the security and stability of Sudan. His burial ceremony took place on Friday with the participation of the commander of the armored corps Nasr al-Din Abdel Fattah.
