Sudanese security forces moved against a protest sit-in camp in the capital Monday, witnesses and protest organizers said. Machine gun fire and explosions were heard and smoke rose from the area. Protest organizers said at least two people were killed.
Burger added: “Nothing justifies the violence and it must stop immediately. The violent clearance of the protest area greatly endangers the process of handing over governing powers to a civilian-led government.” The Forces for Declaration of Freedom and Change, which represents the protesters in transition negotiations, called for an open general strike and civil disobedience, as well as for the international community “not to recognize the coup.”___Sudanese protest leaders say at least 13 people have been killed in the military’s assault on the sit-in outside the military headquarters in the capital, Khartoum.
The party said the military’s raid showed that it is standing in the way of “the Sudanese revolution.”Sudanese activists say an assault by security forces has almost completely cleared the sit-in area outside the military’s headquarters in the capital, Khartoum. The Sudan Doctors’ Committee said Monday that the death toll is rising and has been difficult to count.
The British ambassador in Sudan, Ifran Siddiq, says he is “extremely concerned by the heavy gunfire” he’d heard from his official home in Khartoum, as well as “reports that Sudanese security forces are attacking the protest sit-in site, resulting in casualties.”Sudan’s ruling military council confirms there have been clashes between troops and protesters in a sit-in area in the capital, Khartoum.
The Sudan Doctors’ Committee said Monday that an unspecified but high number had been wounded. The group said medical personnel and injured people were trapped in clinics in the area, and demanded that they be allowed to leave.
