Doctors and state oil workers join disobedience movement against coup

Doctors and oil workers from Sudan's state oil company said they plan to join the general strike against the country's military takeover. 

The Unified Doctors' Office, a coalition of medical trade unions in Sudan, said it would not go back on its promise to join a general strike if a military coup took place against the transitional government.

"As we promised and previously announced we would enter a general strike across Sudan in the event of a coup, we are keeping to our word and timing completely," the Unified Doctors' Office said.
