Sudan’s ongoing revolution against the military leaders has thrown up many heroes – tens of thousands of them, according to the Sudanese protesters. One, a woman named Rifqa, has been celebrated on Sudanese social media as the Tear Gas Hunter, is being celebrated online. Videos circulate of her picking up tear gas canisters shot by the security forces – and throwing them back to them, to the cheers of the other protesters. Newsday’s James Copnall met Rifqa.
