Sudan unrest:

-

A parliament­ary committee tasked with amending the constituti­on to allow President Omar al-Bashir to run for another term abruptly canceled its meeting Sunday, the sate-run news agency said, as hundreds of protesters in the capital called for an end to the president’s rule. SUNA said the meeting was was postponed for “emergency reasons.” It did not elaborate. In Khartoum, police used tear gas to disperse antigovern­ment protesters, according to local activists. The protest was the latest in a wave of demonstrat­ions that began in December, first against price hikes and shortages but soon after began calling for the ouster of al-Bashir.
