Using the social networking site Facebook, Sudanese students called for a street demonstration on January 30 to protest against the government of Omar al-Bashir. The protests have claimed the life of Mohammed Abdulrahman, a student at the Ahaliya University. This is our latest roundup of #SudanJan30 tweets.
@MissTaha asks:
@simsimt Any protests today in Khartoum? #SudanJan30
@simsimt replies:
@MissTaha I'm not sure. There's supposed to be a more organized one in 3rd February.
@BreathingPsyAir asks world leaders to stay out of #SudanJan30:
#Sudan needs thick-skinned #Bashir but also stability – they do not need a walk-all-over, so World Leaders plz stay out of this #SudanJan30
@simsimt tweets:
By the death of one student in yesterday's protests matters will begin to escalate, and history might once again prove many to be wrong.

@BreathingPsyAir thinks Sudan should not be compared with Egypt or Tunisia:

@elzubeir asks:
Is it true that the organizer of the #SudanJan30 is daughter of a newspaper editor who was arrested before the protest began?

A long phone call with a well-educated friend. He dropped the bomb that we are not ready yet for change because of our ‘lack of education’.
