actor2: Military Forces of Sudan (2019-)
location: Gedaref
notes: On 4 February 2021, dozens of rioters blocked roads with burning tires in Gedaref (Gedaref state) whilst continuing to loot shops in the market, reportedly after bus drivers 'unofficially' raised prices. At least two vehicles were also torched. 'Regular forces' (presumed to be army) intervened and arrested at least 60, and used tear gas to disperse the rioters. The local Resistance Committee has claimed that the riots were orchestrated by members of the former regime, with complicity of the police (who did not intervene), although this is not confirmed at this time.
