 Sudan’s ruling military council condemned an attack on an Islamist party close to former President Omar Al Bashir. Dozens of protesters gathered Saturday outside a building where the Popular Congress Party was holding a meeting, chanting: “No place for Islamists.”

 The state-run SUNA news agency quoted PCP leader Idriss Suliman as saying that at least 64 party members were wounded in clashes with the protesters. The PCP was established in the late 1990s by Hassan Al Turabi, the Sudanese Islamist who played a key role in the 1989 coup that brought Al Bashir to power.
