These days it were not mass rallies but unusually quiet streets in the Sudanese capital that demonstrated the people's discontent with the austerity measures that were taken this month. Parents refused to send their children to school and many people stayed away from work, journalists told Radio Dabanga. The Commissioner of Khartoum denied there was a popular response to the calls for civil disobedience, which resounded on social media with the hashtag #Sudan_Civil_Disobedience. On Sunday a student was detained by a security officer in plainclothes when he filmed a street near the Obeid Khatim road, but he managed to post the footage <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=9ae38a1855&e=5ffa50b614>. No other detentions of civilians were reported during the disobedience campaign. While the second morning witnessed the return of traffic to the main streets and markets, some shops kept their doors closed. A journalist said that security agents had ordered groceries and butchers to open <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=e8fc8c9138&e=5ffa50b614>. On the campaign's third and final day, the copies of four newspapers, including *El Jareeda *and *El Ayam *that were also confiscated on the first day, were seized by the security service <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=f65a7a39b8&e=5ffa50b614> – for reporting on the three-day strike. The austerity measures have caused transportation tariffs and the prices of basic commodities, in particular medicines, to double. The Sudanese Pound has reached its predicted lows, trading at SDG20 for 1 US Dollar. Last week dozens of youths staged a protest in front of the Faculty of Medicine of Khartoum University, leading to the arrest of four students. Also secondary school students <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=82f33247bc&e=5ffa50b614> in the capital went out to demonstrate on Thursday.

Information Minister Mustafa Abdullah Jarelnabi called on the residents of the state to provide the police and security authorities with any information that could help them to find and free the hostages, and arrest the perpetrators. A group of gunmen driving a vehicle kidnapped the three workers, two Nepalese staff and the Sudanese driver, in the centre of El Geneina. “At 6.30pm, they intercepted the car that was transporting the foreign staffers from the office to their home, not far from the El Geneina Grand Mosque. They took them at gunpoint to an unknown destination,” a source told Radio Dabanga that day. UNHCR replied to Radio Dabanga on Monday morning that it cannot say anything about the incident at this moment. On Thursday evening, gunmen kidnapped and robbed four Sudanese staff members of the UN-AU Mission in Darfur (Unamid) in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur. The abduction took place when the employees were on their way to the mission's headquarters. They were released <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=2260d789c5&e=5ffa50b614> a few hours later. *More news from Radio Dabanga:* *Crackdown on SCP: Two more members arrested* <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=23bad28a24&e=5ffa50b614> November 29 - 2016 KHARTOUM Two more prominent members of the Sudanese Congress Party have been arrested by the National Intelligence and Security Service, to join the more than twenty arrested party leaders and members – including the SCP... *SLM dissidents join Sudan's National Dialogue* <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=35dcd48719&e=5ffa50b614> November 29 - 2016 KHARTOUM The dissidents of the rebel SLM-AW who recently signed a peace agreement for western Jebel Marra have also put their signature on the National Dialogue document in Khartoum.
