SUDAN (CSAR: High) - Anti-coup Protests to
Continue in Khartoum through Late February
Activist groups calling for the return to civilian rule plan to continue their
campaign of demonstrations in Khartoum through at least late February.
Organizers have announced plans for additional protests and strikes in the city
on Feb. 7, 14, 21, and 28; they have not, however, released details concerning
start times or locations for the gatherings. Nevertheless, participants will
very likely assemble on major thoroughfares and near government buildings,
including the Presidential Palace in Khartoum. Protests are also likely in
other major cities, including Omdurman and Port Sudan.
Analysis: Authorities will almost certainly deploy heightened security
along key thoroughfares and near government buildings during protest periods.
Security forces will likely close bridges in the Khartoum area to prevent
protesters from gathering; activists could also block roads. Disruptions to
urban and intercity road travel, airports, border crossings, business operations,
and telecommunications are likely amid significant bouts of civil unrest or
preemptive security operations.
Thousands of people have participated in large demonstrations in several
Sudanese cities since the nation's Oct. 25 military coup. Clashes regularly
break out between protesters and security personnel during such gatherings,
with security forces often using tear gas, stun grenades, and live ammunition
to forcibly disperse activists; at least 79 protesters have been killed and
hundreds of others injured in the demonstrations since the military's takeover.
수단 (위험도 : 높음) - 반쿠테타 시위가 2월 말까지 지속될 것으로 전망
Khartoum에서는 군부에 대해 민간정부로의 이양을 촉구하는 시위가 2월 말까지 지속될 것으로 전망되고 있습니다. 시위의 주축은 2월 7일, 14일, 21일, 28일에 집회를 열 것으로 발표 했습니다. 장소나 시간을 특정하지는 않았으나 지금까지와 같이 주요 도로, 대통령저, 정부청사 인근 지역에서 시위가 진행될 가능성이 높습니다. 또한 Khartoum 뿐 아니라 Omdurman, Port Sudan과 같은 도시에서도 진행 될 가능성이 높습니다.
이에 정부의 도로 통제, 집회 해산 조치가 진행될 것으로, 최루탄 / 실탄 사용이 되었던 점 인지하시어 외출을 자제하시기를 권하는 바 입니다. |
