Sudanese protesters, generals trade blame for bloodshed at rallyKHARTOUM: Sudan’s protest leaders and ruling generals traded blame on Monday for deadly new violence as three blood-stained bodies were found a day after the first mass rallies since a crackdown on demonstrators. Protesters have been calling for the departure of generals who seized power following the April ouster of longtime ruler Omar al-Bashir. A doctors’ committee linked to the protest movement said five protesters were killed on Sunday, four of them in Omdurman, across the Nile from Khartoum. The generals in turn blamed the protest movement, the Alliance for Freedom and Change, for Sunday’s violence. Health ministry figures show 68 people have died nationwide since the raid, including those killed on Sunday.
