Sudanese football players are supporting the tens of thousands of protesters confronting the regime's security forces.
Since December 2018, Sudan has been facing a serious uprising. Protests that started due to a rise in bread prices and a general shortage of food took over the whole nation.
Back then, in a CAF Champions League qualification match between Al-Hilal Omdurman, the biggest club in the country, and Tunisia's Club Africain, a whole stadium chanted against the regime of Omar Al-Bashir, who has ruled the country for the past 30 years.
The fans showed a clear stance and joined the protests, highlighting the club's identity in the country: the team of the people.
In the past weekend, the protests took a step forward on April 6 - the 34th anniversary of the coup d'etat that eventually brought Bashir to power.
Tenths of thousands gathered outside the army HQ, while others throughout the country hit the streets calling for the resignation of the regime.
Al-Hilal Omdurman, in Tunisia preparing for their game against Etoile du Sahel in Sousse, did not remain indifferent.
In their final training session, players took photos with the Sudanese flag expressing their support for the tens of thousands of protesters confronting the regime's security forces.
