KHARTOUM, June 30 (Xinhua) -- The Sudanese government on Tuesday confirmed that a protester was killed in Omdurman city during mass demonstrations in the capital Khartoum and other cities.
"Despite their peaceful nature, the demonstrations registered falling of a new martyr in Omdurman in addition to injuries in the capital and states," Faisal Mohamed Saleh, Sudan's information minister and government spokesman, said in a statement.
The judicial bodies will carry out a transparent investigation to determine the responsibilities and punish the perpetrators of these unacceptable violations, he added.
