In Sudan, security forces dispersed a sit-in of demonstrators on Monday, 3 June, killing more than 120 people. The protesters had camped for two months in front of army headquarters to demand that power be handed over to civilians after the fall of Omar al-Bashir. Three weeks after this deadly operation, many questions remain.
The military regime had announced an investigation into the dispersal of protesters in front of army headquarters on 3 June. Three weeks later, the conclusions are still waiting.
The Military Council denies wanting to dislodge the protesters and talks about an anti-drug operation in an area that adjoins the sit-in. The military also disagrees with the death toll of 128 victims advanced by the opposition and announce 61 dead.
I saw some really horrible things.

Side negotiations, everything is also stopped. The opposition has broken off discussions with the military since the crackdown. The junta, for its part, has announced that it has suspended all agreements that had been previously negotiated between the two parties.
However, several international delegations such as the African Union, Ethiopia and the United States have succeeded in Khartoum, but the mediation does not seem to be moving forward. Sunday, June 23, Khartoum has also rejected a plan to end the crisis proposed by Addis Ababa.
For many observers, Khartoum is trying to gain time, but does not intend to give up power.
