Sudan ends curfew imposed after Garang's death
Sudan, Politics, 8/16/2005

The Sudanese authorities lifted a curfew which was imposed after the death of the first Sudanese Vice President John Garang, that resulted in the eruption of acts of riots and the death of 111 persons.

Officials from the ministry of the interior said that the authorities lifted the curfew imposed two weeks ago because of the decrease of the acts of riots, stressing that check points will be removed, but the security forces will continue to be deployed in the streets.

Worthy mentioning that riots broke in the trade area in the center of Khartoum and other quarters in the capital, up to two weeks following the news announcing the death of John Garang in a plane crash south of Sudan when he was back from an official visit to Uganda.

The acts of violence and riots were accompanied by reciprocated hostilities between southern and northern Sudanese citizens, a matter which brought back to mind the scenes of civil war which lasted for two decades in Sudan. However, calm returned back to Khartoum last week.
