On Thursday, January 26, 2012, which marked the third day that the new governor was appointed, two South Sudanese were killed during demonstrations against the governor, says the Sudan Tribune. The protests started when supporters of the former governor, Abdul Hamid Musa Kasha, was being replaced by Ismail Hamad. The people who saw the events transpire said that protestors took to the streets and started to burn tires in the middle of the street. The police did not care for this at all, and started to shoot tear gas canisters and live bullets into the crowd to get them to disperse and leave the streets. In this dispute, two more were injured and about twelve were sent away injured.
