After a bulldozer accompanied by police knocked down a wall of the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church’s (SPEC) Khartoum Bahri Evangelical Church and some houses, the Christians formed a human barrier to face down further demolition attempts the following two days. One of the homes destroyed in the compound belonged to Nile Theological College; a Christian doctor had rented it and he lost all his belongings.
