Nine killed as forces fire on protesters

Sudanese forces raided the site of a two-month sit-in for civilian rule this morning, firing on the protesters and killing at least nine of them according to doctors. 

It's the deadliest violence against protesters since three-decade ruler Omar al-Bashir was ousted on 11 April and comes as negotiations between the protesters and ruling military council have stalled. 

Protesters accuse the military of trying to break the sit-in but many have remained and are building new barricades around the site in response to the attack.
