A 25-year-old Sudanese man was being treated in hospital for second-degree burns, medics said Saturday, in the latest instance of self-immolation in the Arab world. Al-Amin Musa Al-Amin, a laborer from Darfur, poured petrol over himself shortly after Friday prayers and lit it as he stood in Suq al-Shaabi, a market in Omdurman, Khartoum’s twin city, eye-witnesses told media. The man was rushed to Omdurman hospital’s intensive care unit, medical officials said.
