In this Jan. 11, 2020 photo, Sudanese fathers who lost their sons during last years' revolution, Farrah Abbas Farrah, left, and Abu Bakr, look at their son's photos and read documents, after a meeting for families who lost loved ones, at the Revolutionary Martyrs Center, in Khartoum, Sudan. Nearly a year after the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir, the country faces a dire economic crisis, leaving many young people jobless. Generals remain the de-facto rulers of the country and have shown little willingness to hand over power to a civilian-led administration, one the demonstrators' key demands. (AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)
