KHARTOUM: A probe into a deadly June raid on a Khartoum protest camp revealed on Saturday that members of a feared Sudanese paramilitary group were involved in it, even as hundreds of demonstrators rallied to demand an independent investigation.
Bashir was ousted on Apr 11, but protesters pressed on with the sit-in, demanding that the military council which replaced him cede power to civilians.Fatah al-Rahman Saeed, a prosecutor who headed the investigation, said orders had been given to security forces to clear an area called Colombia, near the protest camp.
Saeed identified the RSF general who allegedly ordered the raid by his initials A.S.A., and the colonel as A.A.M. They"removed barricades, fired tear gas and fired intense and random bullets that led to the killing and wounding of protesters and the burning of tents," Saeed said, adding that a total of eight officers were involved in the raid.
"It was commissioned by the military council, this is challenging its integrity as the military council itself is accused in this case," said the group that first launched protests against Bashir in December.
