At least 30 people were killed after Sudanese military forces attacked and dismantled a sit-in on Monday in Khartoum. Hundreds more were injured, as forces set fire to tents and beat whoever challenged them, witnesses said.

"They entered and started firing live bullets into the air and they targeted anyone who resisted and burned the tents to the ground," Gamal Adam, a protester who had been manning barricades leading into the sit-in, told MEE.

Protesters are calling on demonstrations to continue on Tuesday, despite Monday's widespread crackdown by the ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC).
