The country’s military rulers accuse them of threatening the coherence of the state and its national security.

Military spokesman General Bahar Ahmed Bahar gave it to protestors with both barrels when he appeared on state television.

The army chiefs who ousted President Omar Al Bashir in a coup initially promised not to use force against the protestors who had weakened his position.

Now they’re threatening to deal with what they call unruly elements.

General Bahar says the sit-in calling for civilian rule is  unsafe and posing a threat to the revolution and revolutionaries.

The Transitional Military Council has closed down the Khartoum office of the news channel Al Jazeera without giving any reasons for the action.
