]]> Pro-democracy groups have held a vigil across Sudan to remember the more than 100 people killed by paramilitary forces breaking up a peaceful demonstration 40 days ago.

The killing of yet another demonstrator has set back the signing of a power-sharing deal between the military junta and civilian groups.

Emotions at the vigil were heightened by footage of the deadly June 3 crackdown that have gone viral since lifting of the internet blackout that prevented this being seen before.

The Alliance for Change and Freedom has delayed signing the power sharing deal with the  Transitional Military Council first from Saturday until Sunday and then until today.

They say they need further consultations with the generals. Recent developments might necessitate even more talks.
