KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — An African Union envoy was in Sudan on Thursday trying to mediate in the country's crisis as leaders of the protest movement accused the ruling military of pursuing a brutal crackdown on protesters. Over 100 people were killed in the capital and across Sudan in a sweeping crackdown, according to protest organizers. There was no immediate confirmation from the protesters or the Sudanese military on the resumption of talks. Later Thursday, AU envoy to Sudan, Mohamed Labbat, was expected to brief the media on his mediation efforts. ___This story has been corrected to show that the AU envoy's first name is Mohamed, not Ahmed.
