00:00:03.710 --> 00:00:07.580
a funeral was held
for a slain protester.

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:10.700
Mohamed Abdelsalam was said
to have been killed in violence

4
00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:14.210
that erupted in the country
earlier this week.

5
00:00:14.210 --> 00:00:17.490
He was allegedly protesting
the military's seizure of power

6
00:00:17.490 --> 00:00:20.130
and the ousting of the
civilian government on Monday,

7
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:23.260
when he was shot
by a sniper.

8
00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:26.670
Several people have been killed
in clashes with security forces

9
00:00:26.670 --> 00:00:30.850
since the takeover, led by
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan,

10
00:00:30.850 --> 00:00:33.270
and opponents fear
the army-led authorities

11
00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:35.970
could deploy more force.

12
00:00:35.970 --> 00:00:38.280
A member of the Kobar Resistance
Committee,

13
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.190
Tamam Alaaqeb,
was among the mourners.

14

was killed on the day of the,

15
00:00:48.290 --> 00:00:49.890
that dark day.

16
00:00:53.470 --> 00:00:55.950
A number of us protesters
were on a bridge,

17
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:59.810
and he was targeted by a sniper
from al-Burhan's forces.

18
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:08.140
I accuse Burhan personally
of killing our brother,

19
00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:11.680
and he is continuing
to destabilize

20
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.240
the security
of the Sudanese people.

21
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.600
- The Sudanese army is facing
widening opposition

22
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:25.350
to this week's coup,
with state officials in Khartoum

23
00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:27.680
vowing disobedience
and activists

24
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.980
mobilizing for mass
demonstrations later this week.

25
00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:34.270
But Burhan has said he acted
to stop

26
00:01:34.270 --> 00:01:36.360
the country
slipping into civil war

27
00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:41.130
and has promised elections
in July 2023.
