Sudanese Protestors Say 60 People Have Died in This Week's Military Crackdown Jun 5th 2019, 06:55, by Associated Press (KHARTOUM, Sudan) — Organizers of the pro-democracy protests in Sudan say the death toll across the country since the violent dispersal of their sit-in in Khartoum earlier this week has increased to 60. The previously reported death toll stood at 40. The Sudan Doctors’ Committee says security forces killed at least 10 people on Wednesday in the capital, Khartoum, and its twin city of Omdurman. That came after another 10 people were killed on Tuesday, including five in the White Nile state, three in Omdurman and two in Khartoum’s Bahri neighborhood. The doctors’ committee is the medical arm of the Sudanese Professionals Association, which has been spearheading protests against army rule. On Monday, security forces broke up the protest camp outside military headquarters in Khartoum, posing a new challenge to the protest movement. Media files: sudan-protestors-60-dead
