The Sudan Security forces have killed at least two protesters in an early morning raid on their camp outside the army headquarters, sparking off yet even more protests in Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum.
Live videotape broadcast by Arab television stations showed confused scenes, with protesters running away as black smoke rose from tents apparently torched by the raiding force.
Activists described the raid that killed at least two people and injured dozens, as an attempt to disperse protesters demanding civilian rule.
A witness said there were no security forces in the area as young men and women blocked main streets and side roads across Omdurman, which sits on the other side of the Nile River from Khartoum.
The Transitional Military Council, which assumed power in April when the military ousted President Omar al-Bashir after three decades in office, has offered to let protesters form a government to run the country but insists on maintaining overall authority during an interim period.
