On Twitter, US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called on the Sudanese military to immediately stop its "shocking use of violence".

This is a shocking use of violence by Sudanese security forces—the day before Eid no less.

The government must immediately stop the violence against the democratic movement and keep their pledge in taking steps towards a civilian government. https://t.co/27KiOn1clf
