notes: On 5 July 2021, hundreds of Beja demonstrators blocked the Port Sudan-Khartoum highway and Atbara-Port Sudan railway line with burning tires in Sinkat town (Sinkat, Red Sea). The demonstration was in response to the announcement by the High Council of Beja Nazirs against the continued detention of 42 Beja residents in Khartoum for participating in the June 30th parade, as well as the failure of authorities to resolve political and ethnic disputes in Eastern Sudan.
