Sudanese opposition says it is halting all contact with military council

Sudan’s opposition and protest group alliance said on Monday it was halting all contact and negotiations with the country’s military council, after security forces launched a deadly raid on a protest sit-in.

The Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFCF) had been in talks with the Transitional Military Council (TMC) that took over from Omar al-Bashir in May, but negotiations have stalled in recent weeks.
