Film: Grieving mother and sister of Mahgoub Al-Taj

Note from Sudan Watch Editor: Many film clips are being posted online from Sudan, especially on Twitter. Much of the amateur footage is shockingly graphic. This clip in particular conveys the deep emotion felt by a mother (with her daughter) while continuing to protest after the killing of her son Mahgoub Al-Taj. The footage, probably shot from a phone camera, brings the viewer close into the midst of a sorrowful crowd.

Mother Courage
