Osman Mirghani, chief editor of the Al-Tayar daily, lies on his bed after he was severely beaten by armed men who raided the offices of the Sudanese newspaper earlier this week, on July 24, 2014 in Khartoum’s twin city of Omdurman. The attack occurred on July 19, just a few days after Mirghani called on local television for Islamist Sudan to normalise relations with Israel. The comments came during an Israeli military assault on the Islamist Hamas movement in the Gaza strip. AFP PHOTO / EBRAHIM HAMID
