Sudan's military rulers forcefully break up weeks-long sit-in outside army HQ in capital, leaving at least 13 dead – Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors
The Sudanese Professionals Association , which spearheaded nationwide protests that started in December, said it amounted to a "bloody massacre" and hundreds of people had been wounded.Rallies against Bashir's authoritarian, three-decade rule led to his ouster in April, but protesters had remained outside the army headquarters calling on the generals to cede power to a transitional authority.
A witness in Atbara, in northern Sudan, said the city's roads were closed and "even the streets that link it to other towns."Britain's ambassador to Khartoum, Irfan Siddiq, said he had heard "heavy gunfire" from his residence. The US embassy in Khartoum said, "security forces' attacks against protesters and other civilians is wrong and must stop."
