SUDAN – The umbrella group leading Sudan’s pro-democracy movement has called for a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience, days after a bloody military crackdown left dozens dead.
Protest leaders rejected an offer of talks from the Transitional Military Council (TMC), saying it cannot be trusted after the bloodshed.
Sudan has been controlled by the TMC since protests led to the ousting of long-time President Omar al-Bashir in April.
The military promised a transition to civilian rule, but protesters had maintained a sit-in in Khartoum until security forces swept in on Monday and opened fire. (BBC)
