Three other people were wounded after being stabbed or shot. After the ousting of the Islamist President Omar Al Bashir in April 2019, who ruled the country for 30 years with an iron fist, rising insecurity led to several attacks. Recently, in Port Sudan, a key Red Sea Sudanese port, several protesters blocked roads as the country’s security worsens. The doctors’ committee blame the attack on ‘tribal strife’.

Earlier in May, the country declared a state of emergency and night curfews after the bloody trial events of May 24 in Port Sudan that killed at least five people and wounded 13.
