Sudanese protest leaders turn down military's offer to resume negotiations as the death toll from a violent crackdown on pro-democracy protestors climbs to at least 108
Bricks are laid by protesters to block a street in Sudan's capital Khartoum to stop military vehicles from driving through the area. June 5, 2019. Organisers of the pro-democracy protests say 40 bodies have been retrieved from the Nile River in the capital, Khartoum.
Sudanese protest leaders dismissed a call for talks with the ruling generals, saying the military cannot be serious about negotiations while troops keep shooting and killing protesters. The motives for Burhan's about-face — if sincere — were not immediately clear. Burhan had earlier cut the negotiations and cancelled all agreed-on points between the military and the Forces for Declaration of Freedom and Change, an alliance which represents the protesters.
Saudi Arabia has close ties to the council, which has taken control of Sudan since the overthrow of President Omar al Bashir in April.
