Sudanese journalists protest against editor's dismissal

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Dozens of journalists and Sudan's national press body protested against the dismissal of the editor of one of the country's biggest independent newspapers by the security service, staging a rare challenge to the dominant security apparatus.

On Thursday, Al-Nour Ahmed al-Nour, editor of al-Sahafa newspaper, said security agents came to his office to order him to leave his job after accusing him of insulting one of their colleagues.
