UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND CITIZENS PROTEST IN THE SUDANESE CAPITAL KHARTOUM HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED AS MINOR PROTEST OF LESS INFORMED STUDENTS AND CITIZENS.

       University students and citizens protest in the Sudanese capital Khartoum has been downgraded by the government as minor protest of less informed students and citizens, despite the rising concern about the government's uncertain political direction that has divided the country with unclear financial and economic objectives that may lead to further citizens protest by demonstration , or uprising similar to the citizens protest for Democracy and citizens freedom in the Arab countries of Syria and Bahrain, or the North African countries of Tunisia and Egypt. The exact reasons for the students and citizens protest have not been specified. However, tax increase on the citizens tight budget in mostly the monthly salaries with the rising fuel and basic essential commodities prices may have attributed to the precedented students and citizens protest that demanded President Omar Beshir ouster from power after over thirty five years of both military and civilian rule in the Sudan. The police forces have used teargas, rubber bullets and clubs to disperse the demonstrators and restored order in the capital. No death of any citizen has been reported during, or after the demonstration, except minor injuries of those that may have been clubbed, or bruised during the skirmishes with the police forces.
