In the morning a growing crowd started a demonstration on Thursday morning in front of the governors office keeping him accountable as head of the security organs in South Darfur. The governor tried to calm down the angry mob, but during his speech slogans were chanted. After a while the people became outraged entering the building. Unknown participants have lit the fire. The governor was taken away.

The security and police came to protect the other buildings in vain. Finally the security started to use teargas and fired live bullets. All the markets in Nyala are closed, but at this time of writing the demonstration continued and the mass was not dispersed. In July 2012 (see picture) eight people were killed during a protest sparked by high prices.
