KHARTOUM (Reuters). -Opponents against military rule in Sudan have planned their tenth major demonstration after an Oct. 25 coup. In Khartoum the internet was disrupted and soldiers blocked roads.

The witnesses stated that the locals could not make or receive calls at home.

They claimed that Rapid Support Forces and soldiers were also blocking the roads connecting Khartoum to Omdurman, the sister city of Khartoum across the Nile.

According to SUNA, the state news agency said that Khartoum had closed all bridges Friday night in preparation for the protests.”Departing form peacefulness and approaching and infringing upon sovereign and strategically located sites in central Khartoum constitutes a violation the laws,” SUNA stated, citing a provincial coordination committee on security.

It added that “Chaos, abuses will all be addressed.”

Protests against coup continue even after Abdallah Hamdok was reinstated as Prime Minister on Nov. 21, and demonstrators demand that the military be exempted from any government roles in the transition to free election.

Reuters was informed by a senior official at one of Sudan’s internet service providers that the disruption occurred due to a decision made by the National Telecommunication Corporation (which oversees this sector).

Volker Perthes the U.N. Special Representative to Sudan, advised Sudanese authorities that they should not stand in their way of Saturday’s planned demonstrations.

“Freedom to express oneself is a fundamental human right. It includes the full use of the Internet. Perthes explained that protestors should not be held for the intent of peaceful demonstrations.

For comment, the military was not available immediately.

According to organizers, a march is planned for Saturday and will converge at the presidential palace. The demonstration will conclude at 5 pm (1500 GMT).

Minni Minnawi in Darfur asked people to not loot UNAMID’s offices on Friday night. Sources tell Reuters they heard shots on Saturday.

Last Sunday was a day of protest. Hundreds of thousands marched up to the Presidential Palace. The security forces opened fire with stun grenades and tear gas as they tried to disperse those who were trying to stage a sit in.

The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors stated that 48 people had been killed by police crackdowns in protests after the coup.
