The 2019–2022 Sudanese protests were street protests in Sudan which began in mid-September 2019, during Sudan's transition to democracy, about issues which included the nomination of a new Chief Justice and Attorney General,[6] the killing of civilians by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF),[1][2] the toxic effects of cyanide and mercury from gold mining in Northern state and South Kordofan,[3] opposition to a state governor in el-Gadarif and to show trials of Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) coordinators,[5] and advocating the dismissal of previous-government officials in Red Sea, White Nile,[5] and South Darfur.[7] The protests follow the Sudanese Revolution's street protests and civil disobedience of the early September 2019 transfer of executive power to the country's Sovereignty Council, civilian prime minister Abdalla Hamdok, and his cabinet of ministers.[16] Hamdok described the 39-month transition period as defined by the aims of the revolution.[16]
