Sudan protesters urge night rallies amid impasse with military

A Sudanese opposition movement has called on its supporters to start night-time rallies to protest against what it described as the massacre of demonstrators in the capital, Khartoum.

The forces of freedom and change called for the new protests to start across Sudan on Tuesday.

Dozens of opposition supporters were killed earlier this month when a paramilitary group violently dispersed a peaceful sit-in outside defence headquarters.

The demonstrators initially protested against the 30-year-rule of Omar Al-bashir.

They have continued to protest after he was deposed by the military, demanding a swift transition to civilian rule.
