Sudan protesters say sit-in site cleared by security forces

KHARTOUM: Sudanese protest leaders said Monday the site of a weeks-long sit-in outside the army headquarters had been cleared by security forces from the country's Transitional Military Council.
"The Rapid Support Forces and the army and police and militia battalions dispersed the peaceful sit-in," the Alliance for Freedom and Change, the protestors' umbrella group, said in a statement, adding that outside the "headquarters there is no one, but the pure bodies of our martyrs that it has not been possible to evacuate from the site".
