KHARTOUM - Security forces stormed a protest camp in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Monday morning and at least nine people were reported to have been killed in the worst violence since the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir in April.
The main protest group accused the ruling military council of trying to break up the camp, calling the action “a massacre”.The protesters and Sudan’s military rulers had been negotiating over who should govern in a transitional period following the overthrow of Bashir after months of generally peaceful demonstrations, but the talks have become deadlocked.
“The protest camp has not been dispersed,” Kabbashi said. “The security forces were trying to disperse unruly in the Colombia area, near the protest site, and some of these elements fled to the protest site and caused this chaos.”See more stories Demonstrators, some waving Sudanese flags, hurled stones at security forces, who charged amid sounds of intense gunfire.
