Some protesters chose to wear yellow protective suits and masks, symbolising the danger facing the Sudanese people from these internationally banned attacks.

“We cannot remain silent while our families are being killed by toxic gases,” one demonstrator declared, urging the world to intervene to halt what he called “massacres.”

Amid a deepening humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where millions face displacement and death, the voices of these protesters rang out as a cry of hope to save what remains.

So far, the Sudanese authorities have not responded to the demonstration, while observers await the international community’s stance on this escalating crisis.

The war began as a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF and has drawn in other Sudanese armed groups and foreign backers, plunging the country into what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

Sudan's civil war appears to have entered a new phase, with paramilitary forces launching what experts are calling a "shock and awe campaign".

This follows their retreat from the capital. Just weeks after the army reclaimed control of Khartoum, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) carried out a wave of unprecedented drone attacks on Port Sudan in the country’s east.

The strikes have triggered widespread power outages and water shortages for city residents.
