Government and opposition supporting students confront at university in Omdurman

June 29, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — Students supporting the ruling National Congress Party and the opposition Umma Party confronted each other at Ahlia University in Omdurman on Monday.

Witnesses told the Sudan Tribune that at least 10 National Congress Party supporters, many with metal rods, chased Umma Party supporters out of the campus at around 6.30pm.

The incident, which occurred moments after Umma Party activists finished a small rally in the centre of the campus, caused mild panic with many students fleeing through the University’s two main exits adjacent to Hamed al-Nil cemetery.

One student climbed onto the outer wall of the University compound and threw rocks back into the campus.

It is not not known what triggered the confrontation or if anyone was hurt.
