Bashir’s warning comes as opposition activists issued a new call to hold a two-day nationwide strike next week against a government decision to cut fuel subsidies that has led to rising prices for goods including medicines.
In recent weeks, groups of people
have staged sporadic demonstrations against the latest cuts, but they were
swiftly dispersed by anti-riot police.
According to reports, Opposition
activists have now taken to social media networks to call for a new nationwide
“sit-at-home” strike on December 19 and 20, urging the people to stage street
protests in Khartoum and other cities to “overthrow the regime”.
Meanwhile, Sudan’s powerful National
Intelligence and Security Service, has already arrested several opposition
leaders and activists in a bid to prevent protests.
