The sound of gunfire can be heard in footage filmed during a raid by Sudanese security forces on a peaceful Khartoum protest. The death toll from the crackdown on a pro-democracy camp has reached more than 100, with more than 40 bodies pulled from the Nile, medical groups associated with the demonstrators have said. Internet access has since been cut, restricting protesters from communicating and sharing video evidence of the violence. After the UN and world leaders condemned the violence, the head of the Transitional Military Council, General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, offered to reopen talks with opposition groups. Protesters rejected the offer, saying the military can no longer be trusted.
