'We don't trust them... they have everything to lose'

Speaking from Khartoum's Street 60, one activist told MEE that they had seen no violence so far, and had no interactions with security forces.

“But we don’t trust them, we don’t trust them at all. I’m looking up at these buildings and I’m thinking to myself there could be snipers at any point, pointing towards us…anything can happen. They’ve done it before and they can do it again. And if you corner them, they will do it. They have everything to lose.”

“I’m with my siblings, I’m with my cousins, we’re all together. I’m a single parent, I left my children back home, and I told them that we have to do this. Their father passed away just before the revolution started, by a few days. And it’s been an incredible journey, and they’ve seen everything. But today I told them I have to leave, because we have to do this. For them, for us, for all of us. Inshallah everything will be okay.”
