I'm currently preparing myself for another round of intense blogging. Here's why:
Small demonstrations have been going on in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, for well over a year now, but now it seems to get serious as a couple of hundered students at the University of Khartoum started a demonstration on campus against high food prices. The university's website seems to be down at the moment, not sure if that has anything to do with this though.
Riot police met the protesters with tear gas and batons and the demonstration spread to city central.
Tweets and Facebook statuses claim that the situation is escalating and that a number of seriously hurt people have been brought to hospital. People are encuraging each other to hit the streets and spread information.
Are you in Khartoum at the moment? Me and the rest of the world wants to hear your stories!
More to come.
