Africa: Sudanese forces storm protest camp, more than 30 people killed -medics By Reuters reuters
* Defence Ministry sit-in has been focal point of protests* Talks on demand to hand power to civilians stalled Footage shared on social media and verified by Reuters showed chaotic scenes of people fleeing through streets as sustained bursts of gunfire crackled in the air during violence that drew rapid Western and African censure.
The Transitional Military Council denied that, with a spokesman, Lieutenant General Shams El Din Kabbashi, telling Reuters security forces were pursuing “unruly elements” who had fled to the protest site and caused chaos. The TMC had offered to let protesters form a government but insisted on maintaining overall authority during an interim period. Demonstrators want civilians to run the transitional period and lead Sudan’s 40 million people to democracy.
“What is clear to us is that there was use of excessive force by the security forces on civilians,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. Neighbouring Egypt called for “calm and restraint”, while the United Arab Emirates said it hoped that dialogue would prevail in Sudan.
