notes: On 20 December 2018, demonstrations continued in Atbara (River Nile state), with around 2,000 demonstrators active. Demonstrators attempted to burn down the offices of the Taxation Bureau. Police and NISS fired above the heads of the crowd to disperse the demonstrators (coded here as police and military). Three demonstrators (including a student) were killed by NISS forces (two of whom died an hour after being shot), and a child was injured. Note that one source suggests that the military prevented paramilitary forces from entering the city at an unspecified time. [size=around 2000]
