Sudan cracks down on growing anti-government protests
(CNN)Anti-government protesters in Sudan faced a violent crackdown Tuesday in the capital of Khartoum, marking the seventh day of demonstrations that have rocked the northern African country.
The protesters — organized by a group of professional unions including doctors, lawyers, teachers and students and supported by two of the largest opposition parties — are calling for President Omar al-Bashir to step down.
The demonstrations began over fuel shortages and a spike in food prices that saw the cost of bread double in the past year.
