KHARTOUM - At least eight people were reported wounded by gunshots near a Khartoum sit-in on Wednesday, before crucial talks between military chiefs and protest leaders over a transitional governing b
ody.
A witness told AFP that gunshots had been fired near the protest camp outside the army headquarters in central Khartoum. The protest movement that brought down president Omar al-Bashir after 30 years of iron-fisted rule is demanding a civilian-led transition, which the generals have steadfastly resisted since bowing to their demands and toppling the autocrat.
It added: "We are calling on revolutionaries to restrain themselves, be calm and peaceful and avoid any confrontation or clash with any group whatever the circumstances." The first six months of the transition would be devoted to reaching peace accords with rebels in war zones including Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan.
