Violence flared in Khartoum the capital of Sudan late on Monday after the military council and opposition groups said they have agreed to a power structure for the country’s transition following the ouster of President Omar al-Bashir last month.
Heavy gunfire was heard late into the evening even as the council said a military police officer was killed and many protesters wounded. Local doctors also say some are in serious condition.
The council accused armed groups unhappy with progress toward a political deal of opening fire at protest sites. Protesters said counter-revolutionaries linked to the former regime are inciting violence.
Earlier, paramilitary forces patrolled the streets, using tear gas and gunshots to disrupt protests blocking roads.
The Transitional Military Council (TMC) and the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces opposition alliance are due to meet Today to discuss two key sticking points: the military-civilian balance of power in transitional bodies, and the length of the transition before elections
