KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudanese security forces have moved against a protest sit-in camp in the capital Monday, besieging the site and setting fire to tents, witnesses and protest leaders said. Machine-gun fire and explosions were heard and smoke rose from the area.
The Sudan Doctors' Committee said at least five people were killed early Monday and an unspecified number had been wounded. The group said medical personnel and injured people were trapped in clinics in the area, and demanded that they be allowed to leave. Tens of thousands of protesters have been camped since April 6 outside the military's headquarters, the epicenter of Sudan's uprising that led to the military overthrow of al-Bashir.
