There is now an article in The Guardian (The USA Branch) about how the government has forced a closure of the largest Daily News Paper in Sudan. [Article Here]

BBC Arabic has set up a site to allow people to post pictures and information directly to them about the Sudanese situation [Website Here]

Some of the chatter that I'm hearing is that some of the officials have started sending their families to the airports. THAT is a good sign, hopefully they will soon follow after there.

Due to the government shutting down the internet, my corespondent hasn't contacted me yet, but luckily there are other sources that are able to leak some information out.

-The Al-Arabia channel has been closed by the government.
-All televised news media has been ORDERED by the government to NOT address the protests.
-After the Friday Prayers large amounts of people went into protests, police are shooting LIVE ammo at the peaceful protests.

(Update 16:44)– The Sudanese police has started using live ammunition to quell large demonstrations that started right after the Friday prayers.

September 26 (Update #2) : Email

Earlier today I had mentioned that Mr. Salah Dawoud, Uncle of artist/activist Ramey Dawoud was shot earlier today by security police, even though he is a 60 year old man, and not part of the protests.
Ramey was able to email me more details about the situation, here is Ramey's email

"My uncle is well known in Omdurman. He is handicapped. He lost his right arm when he was younger. He also recently ran for a position in the recent elections representing the handicapped and speaking for then and gave his oppositions some trouble although coming up short. This morning he stepped out the family house in the Omdurman neighborhood of AlThowra (the revolution) to see the protests, not even participating in them as he is an older man. Before he could even reach the main road intersection a police man riding on a motorcycle drove by, shot him, and rode away. The bullet entered his left leg and exited causing a severe exit wound around the knee area. He was taken to the hospital by some of the neighborhood people but was not treated immediately. He was not treated until the following day. Doctors decided it's best to amputate his leg."

This is what our so called government does. This kind of inhumane treatment of its own people, is EXACTLY why it needs to go.
I'm saddened to hear about Uncle Salah, but I'm glad to hear that he is alive, and I can't wait to see the look on his face when he gets the news that this murderous regime has fallen, forever.

///

My corespondent in Sudan has not communicated with me since the last text from (Update #1), I was told that the internet outage was announced on the people via the Sudanese media. It seems that the government is trying VERY lock down on all the information being leaked via similar sources to this one.
But I'm a firm believer that "if there is a will, there is a way".

Please keep spreading the word, the people of Sudan are not backing down, and neither should we.

Via Facebook, my dear friend and fellow musical activist Ramey Dawoud has informed us that his uncle Salah Dawoud has been shot by Sudan security police.
Uncle Salah is a 60 year old handicapped elder, who wasn't event protesting.



So far today, they have shot the 14 year old children (who represent our Future) and the 60 year old elder (who represent our History).
And there is NO doubt, there are many others who we have not heard of as of yet.

SYSTEM DOWN!!

Here is the protest song by Ramey & I .
"System Down"
