Authorities in Sudan have indefinitely suspended the academic calender nationwide in the wake of the killing of five protesters earlier this week.
According to a Reuters report, the five victims included four students, who were shot dead on Monday during a rally in the town of Al-Obeid located in central Sudan.
A new round of protest was called after the incident with secondary school students protesting across the country seeking justice for those that were killed.
The current move also comes on the back of an outright condemnation of the incident by the Transitional Military Council, TMC, which has been leading the country after the mid-April overthrow of long serving Omar Al-Bashir.
The transition’s Sovereign Council composed of five military and six civilian members to lead the transition for just over three years. They were due to resume negotiations on Tuesday to finalize some outstanding issues.
