"We're living in a state of terror because of sporadic gunfire," a resident of south Khartoum told AFP. But it denied doctors' claims that more than 100 people had been killed in the crackdown on protesters that began with a raid on a long-running sit-in outside the army headquarters on Monday. But in Omdurman, just across the Nile from Khartoum, a resident said there was a "feeling of terror" about "many military vehicles with all these weapons." The protesters blamed the bloody crackdown on the "militias" of the military council. Some residents seemed wary of the heavy deployment of paramilitaries in the streets of the capital.
