Sudan: months of protests lead to the ousting of Bashir

The uprising that resulted in the army's removal of president Omar al-Bashir from power on Thursday started with protests in December over a hike in bread prices. Hundreds take to the streets in central Atbara and other cities on December 19 to protest the government's tripling of bread prices. The protests erupt the same day as the main opposition leader -- ex-prime minister Sadiq al-Mahdi who was driven out in Bashir's 1989 coup -- returns from exile.
