Sudan Military Council regrets 'mistakes' made dispersing Khartoum sit-in
Sudan's ruling Military Council has admitted it dispersed a Khartoum sit-in, which left dozens dead, as African diplomats and US stepped up efforts for a solution to the country's political crisis. Protesters had earlier staged weeks-long sit-in outside army headquarters in Khartoum, calling for the ouster of veteran leader Omar al-Bashir as well as for the military council that took his place to hand power to a civilian administration.
However, on June 3, days after talks between protest leaders and the military collapsed, armed men in military fatigues broke up the camp in an operation that doctors said left 120 people dead. According to the health ministry, the death toll for that day was 61 nationwide. The military council had "decided to disperse the sit-in", said spokesman Shamseddine Kabbashi.
