The death toll in Sudan has risen to 13
AT LEAST 13 are dead after Sudan’s military rulers forcefully broke up a weeks-long sit-in outside Khartoum’s army headquarters.
The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors, which is close to the protesters, updated the death toll to 13 in a Facebook statement. Near the demonstration site, a witness living in the Burri neighbourhood said he could “hear the sound of gunfire and I see a plume of smoke rising from the area of the sit-in.”
The country’s foreign minister condemned “the attack on protesters by Sudanese security forces” and called it “an outrageous step”. “Responsibility falls on the TMC. The TMC cannot responsibly lead the people of Sudan,” it added referring to the transitional military council.
