He criticized some political powers saying that they use the students as fuel in resolving their divergences.
The Information Secretary stated that the absence of cultural programs in the universities has led to spread of violence.

Commenting on South Kordfan State, he said the riots resulted to some damages. The Students Union General Secretary said that the riot in Kordofan State initially started as student demonstrations but later was abused by political parties for their private agenda.
