US State Department official condemns 'abusive forces' in Sudan

US State Department official Tibor Nagy condemned the Sudanese military's "coordinated and unlawful violence" against peaceful protesters in Khartoum. 

Nagy said the military's crackdown "mirrors some of the worst offenses" committed under ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. 

"We call on Sudan’s military authorities to rein in these abusive forces and protect the people of #Sudan," Nagy tweeted.
