Khartoum
A day after the worst bout of violence since Omar al-Bashir was ousted as President in April. At least 35 people were killed on Monday when security forces stormed a protest camp in Khartoum. The military council that has ruled since Mr. Bashir’s overthrow afterwards cancelled all agreements with the opposition alliance.
But Madani Abbas Madani, a leader of the alliance, said an open-ended civil disobedience campaign would continue to try to force the council from power. “What happened — killing protesters, wounding and humiliation — was a systematic and planned matter to impose repression on the Sudanese people,” he said.
