A member of the Sudanese Armed Forces died Monday after falling out of a vehicle during a military parade in Kadugli, South Kordofan State, local sources said.
Multiple sources told Radio Tamazuj the state government organized military exercises to commemorate Sudan’s Independence Day with the participation of schoolchildren.
But the military display reportedly stirred up fear among citizens, prompting closure of shops, the sources said. “It was a scary sight,” one of them said.
During the event, a soldier fell out of his vehicle and was taken to Military Hospital for treatment where he died, the same sources said.
“He fell in the gravel road between the local government [office] and the court,” said a source.
