Sudan military scraps transition deal after deadly crackdown 0 SHARES Share it! The Transitional Military Council ousted president Omar al-Bashir in April after months of protests against his authoritarian rule and had agreed a three-year transition period to a civilian administration. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the excessive use of force against protesters and called for an independent investigation. The UN Security Council will meet behind closed doors on Tuesday to discuss Sudan, after Britain and Germany requested the talks, diplomats said. An eight-year-old child was among those killed, it said, and called for “urgent support” from humanitarian organisations to help the wounded.
