At least two protestors have died and several others injured in Sudan, after the 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 two"peaceful" protestors and injuring several others with"live bullets," an opposition union of doctors, the Central Committee of Sudan Doctors , said on its Facebook account.
A Sudanese protester reacts as military forces tried to disperse the sit-in outside Khartoum's army headquarters on June 3, 2019. The Sudanese Professionals Association, an umbrella organization of trade unions, also said in a tweet that security forces had used live bullets and"excessive force" on protesters.
