Sudanese protest leaders say at least 13 people have been killed Monday in the military’s assault on the sit-in outside the military headquarters in the capital, Khartoum. She said dozens of bodies had been pulled from the Nile in different places near the sit-in area and were taken to a hospital morgue. “Some bodies have wounds from bullets, others seemed to have beaten and thrown in the Nile,” she said. After al-Bashir’s ouster, for weeks, the military and protest leaders negotiated over the makeup of a transitional council meant to run the country for three years before elections. In a joint statement, the U.S., Norway and Britain have condemned the security forces’ crackdown.
