Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Sudanese Forces Fire at Protesters Demanding Civilian Rule

HeadlineJan 05, 2022

In Sudan, security forces fired live ammunition, stun grenades and tear gas at protesters on Tuesday as demonstrations continue across Sudan demanding civilian rule. Security forces blocked roads leading to the Republican Palace in central Khartoum. Seventy protesters were reportedly injured across the country Tuesday. The protest came two days after Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigned.

Sami Saleh: “Today, after Hamdok’s resignation, the people are confirming the need for Sudanese men and women of all parties to move forward despite the repression. They are facing off against the state, as you can hear the sound of the bombs being fired at those on the frontlines who are facing this abuse for the sake of a free, peaceful and just state.”
