A state of discontent prevailed in Sudan after clips circulated on social media showing the burial of Egyptian doctor Majdoline Youssef Ghali, last Thursday evening, in the garden of her home in Khartoum. The burial was supervised by a medical team and was approved by the Coptic Church, to which the two doctors belong.

A large number of bloggers reacted to this incident, as the "Buildings Resistance Committee" issued a statement mourning the deaths of the two Egyptian doctors, and condemning the use of unarmed civilians as human shields.
