The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors says at least 13 people have been killed.

The Transitional Military Council promised after ousting President Omar Al Bashir in coup two months ago that they would not attack protestors who had weakened his position.

Today they reneged on that undertaking using live round to cut down demonstrators and batons to beat those who would not move from the camp they set up in Al Bashir’s last days.

The troops from the rapid support force blocked access to those seeking to support the demonstrators.

Their deadly action has put paid to negotiations ordered by the African Union to install a civilian-led administration in Sudan.
