Hundreds of Sudanese students threw rocks at riot police and were met with tear gas on the third consecutive days of protests over a doubling in bread prices, witnesses said.
Reports claim police formed a cordon to force more than 300 marchers onto the campus of Khartoum University, the largest in Sudan, and continued to fire tear gas at students chanting, "No, no, no to price rises!"
A smaller number of protesters gathered in Kosti, Sudan's biggest Nile river port 350km south of the capital, but were dispersed by baton-wielding police.
Street protests broke out across the sprawling north eastern African country after bread prices doubled following a government announcement late last month that it was eliminating subsidies in its 2018 budget.
A high school student was killed and six others wounded on Sunday in the south western city of Geneina. Authorities did not give a cause of death but said investigations were under way.
State Minister of Interior Babkar Daqna denied that the demonstrations were in response to price rises and said that destructive protesters would be "dealt with forcefully", state news agency SUNA reported on Sunday.
