Sudan crisis: Protest leaders demand end of deep state

The group leading the anti-government protests in Sudan says there been efforts to break up the sit-in outside the army headquarters in the capital, Khartoum.

The details are sketchy, and the latest reports suggest the troops have stepped back from immediate confrontation.

Earlier, the group called for the full dismantling of what it described as the deep state left behind by president Omar Al-Bashir, who was ousted by the army last week after 30 years in power.
