Sudanese revolutionaries boycott UN-brokered talks as brutal crackdown continues
Sudanese protesters take part in a rally against military rule on the anniversary of previous popular uprisings, in Khartoum, Sudan, Wednesday, April 6, 2022

SUDAN’S democracy movement boycotted UN-brokered talks with the military that began today, saying they were farcical when the junta continued to kill protesters daily.

Medics said a five-year-old girl was the latest victim of the army’s savage crackdown, run down by a police car chasing protesters on Tuesday.

The United Nations, African Union and Intergovernmental Authority in Development started talks involving army chiefs and some civilian politicians to agree a “transition to democracy,” eight months after General Abdel-Fattah Burhan seized power and three years into the revolution that forced out long-term dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
