Schoolboy Terror Arises in Sudan
(Rec. 11 a.m.) KHARTOUM, April 19.
The Government is stated to be determined to wipe out the schoolboy terror which has arisen from the political unrest in the Sudan on the eve of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty negotiations.
The pupils of two secondary schools went on strike. The authorities closed one and sent the boys home. Buses and lorries were provided by the Government.
The Civil Secretary, Mr. J. W. Roßertson, told the North Sudan Advisory Council that recent incidents had much affected secondary schoolboys who were attending political meetings and prejudicing their future value to the country. The unrest in Port Sudan had led to hooliganism with boys doing much damage.
Mr. Robertson blamed irresponsible newspapers in Sudan and Egypt for much of the unrest and added that the police in the Sudan had been instructed to take action against newspapers abusing the right of free speech and against the making of provocative speeches.
