At least nine protesters were killed and several others injured when the Sudan military opened fire to break up a sit-in, according to a local doctors’ union.
Protesters had congregated outside the Defense Ministry in Sudan’s capital Khartoum, opposing the interim military council that has ruled the country since a coup in April.
Sudanese security forces entered the site early Monday, killing nine “peaceful” protestors and injuring several others with “live bullets,” an opposition union of doctors, the Central Committee of Sudan Doctors (CCSD), said on its Facebook account.
