As Sudanese interim military leaders are attempting to squash protests that only
two months ago ousted dictator Omar al-Bashir after three decades in power. Hopes
of a peaceful civilian transition of power seems far-fetched as, on June 3, Sudanese
soldiers and paramilitary groups opened fire on a pro-democracy sit-in in Khartoum,
the country’s capital.

According to local media, dozens of people were killed and many more injured. During
the assault on protesters, the United Arab Emirate designed NIMR Ajban 440A 4×4 
light armoured vehicle was seen in Sudan. Activists claimed that they’re operated
by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

## Sudanese Military Crackdown

In Sudan, al-Bashir was removed in a military coup after thousands of people took
to the streets in protests against the high cost of living.

Demands for his al-Bashir removal was facilitated through the Transitional Military
Council, which took over after Bashir’s ousting, make way for a civilian-led interim
body and hold elections.

The military council and opposition groups originally agreed on a three-year transition
to democracy but talks broke down in May.
