KHARTOUM (AFP) - Six people were killed on Tuesday during a demonstration sparked by high transport prices in Sudan's Darfur region, a state government spokeswoman said.
"According to reports we received, six people were killed," Bothina Mohmed Ahmed, of the South Darfur government, told AFP.
She had no details of what killed the victims, and added that a number of people were also injured.
"The demonstration started because the students rejected the price of transport announced by the government," Ahmed said.
She added that "other groups", whom she did not identify, attacked government property during the demonstration.
"But now the situation is calm and under control," she said.
