notes: On 16th December, student demonstrators gathered in Ed Damazin (Blue Nile) to protest deteriorating economic circumstances and the recent withdrawal of subsidised flour (leading to shortages and price increases of bread). One source indicates that the protests in Ed Damazin may also be related to non-payment of salaries in the city. Police dispersed the protesters using tear gas, batons, and live rounds.
