The talks mission by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came after the African Union suspended Sudan on Thursday until the military makes way for a civilian-led transitional authority. "We're living in a state of terror because of sporadic gunfire," a resident of south Khartoum told AFP. The crackdown was launched after the breakdown of talks between protest leaders and the generals on a new transitional ruling body to replace the military council. The Ethiopian premier went straight into talks with military council representatives on his arrival in Khartoum, an AFP correspondent reported. The generals have so far been shielded from condemnation at the United Nations by China, which has made significant investments in Sudan.
