Sudan military rulers use force to disperse sit-in: protest group

KHARTOUM, June 3, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Sudan’s ruling military council on Monday
used force in a bid to break up a long-running sit-in outside the Khartoum
army headquarters, one of the main protest groups said.

“Now an attempt is taking place to disperse the sit-in at the headquarters
of the people’s armed forces by force by the military council,” said a short
statement from the Sudanese Professionals Association, the group which
spearheaded nationwide protests that started in December.
