At least 5 people, including 4 students, were killed in Sudan's El Obeid city on Monday during protests, Central Committee of Sudan Doctors has said. Many others are feared to be injured as security forces fired on protesters.

The Doctors Committee has claimed that the protests were peaceful and the violence was unwarranted. Many among those injured are also said to be critical.
