By JOSEPH MURAYA, NAIROBI, Kenya, June 19 – Activists protesting human rights abuses in Sudan must march in Nairobi following the recent killings of civilians in Khartoum..
The "Solidarity Walk" will begin at 9 am in the Freedom Corner of Uhuru Park.
Some of Kenya's leading human rights groups are taking part in the protest, including the Kenya Human Rights Commission; Pawa 254, a Boniface Mwangi activist, led by Amnesty International-Kenya, among others.
Sudanese living in the country should also join their Kenyan counterparts according to a schedule consulted by Capital FM News.
This follows the badbadination of at least a hundred people by Sudanese security forces earlier this month when they repressed a sit-in organized by pro-democracy protesters in front of the headquarters of the army in the capital, Khartoum.
Sudanese protesters mobilized to quickly obtain civilian power from a transitional military council created following the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir on April 11, after an autocratic regime that lasted three decades.
The UN Security Council has since called for an immediate ceasefire.
The African Union has suspended Sudan from all its activities until the effective establishment of a civilian led transitional authority.
According to international media reports, locals now say that "the military council has lost the trust of the people" after the killings.
Since his ouster, ex-president al-Bashir was seen for the first time on Sunday, while he was indicted for corruption-related offenses.
Sudan remains concerned about world leaders rushing against time to prevent the country from sinking into a failed state.
