Demonstrators marched through central Hong Kong today to mark the 13-year anniversary of the return to Chinese rule. They used the occasion to criticize recent electoral reforms which they said did not go far enough to ensure universal sufferage for Hong Kong residents.

Protests in Sudan for democratic reform

This video was posted last week, but we didn't come across it until today. It shows demonstrators peacefully marching in the streets of Omdurman in Sudan, protesting for democratic reform.


Yesterday, clashes arose between protesters and the Sudanese police - and police forces reportedly used tear-gas and threw stones to dispel the crowds. We haven't seen any videos from these most recent events uploaded to YouTube yet, but we'll post an update if they do. If you've seen any, please leave a link in the comments section below. For more information, read the BBC's recent article.
