Solidarity protests
A group of Hausa tribe members had organized a protest demonstration in the Sudanese capital (Khartoum) in solidarity with their tribe in the Blue Nile region.
The protesters from the Hausa tribe announced their rejection of the events that their relatives were exposed to in the region.
Thousands of Hausas also demonstrated in North Kordofan (central), Kassala, Gedaref and Port Sudan (east).
In El-Obeid, the capital of Kordofan, to the west of Khartoum, and in Port Sudan, to the east on the Red Sea, thousands went to the governor's residence, chanting, "The Hausa will win."
The demonstrators handed the governors of the two states letters of protest against the violence in Blue Nile state, and chanted slogans calling for "retribution for the martyrs."
In the same context, political forces, resistance committees, and professional and factional groupings, including the Forces of Freedom and Change - the Central Council group, signed a joint statement calling for unity to move quickly against what the statement called "the civil war and fighting in Sudan."
The statement, which contained the signatures of 35 entities this morning, stressed that overthrowing what he called a "coup" is "the only way to end the state of security liquidity, non-statement and the state of making tribal fronts that create conflicts that provide the putschists with justifications and justifications for the continuation of military rule," according to the statement.
The number of Hausa people in Sudan is about 3 million, and they live mainly from agriculture in Darfur, and in Kassala, Gedaref, Sennar and the Blue Nile on the borders with Ethiopia and Eritrea.
