Sudan’s state prosecution has issued arrest warrants for 38 journalists and activists on charges of “incitement” and spreading “false news” that’s allegedly flaming and fuelling anger in the country with several demonstrations.

According to state broadcaster Sudania 24, those indicted were electronic activists, including 28 residing outside Sudan.

Protests about Sudan’s economic problems began in December but have since morphed into anger at President Omar al-Bashir’s 30-year rule.
