Dozens are feared dead after Sudanese security forces launched a massive crackdown against protesters at a central Khartoum sit-in.

 Heavily armed paramilitaries attacked the site of a sit-in in the capital that has been the centre of a campaign to bring democratic reform shortly after dawn on Monday, firing teargas and live ammunition.

Witnesses reported that the security personnel belonged to the feared Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary force that was heavily armed by Omar al-Bashir, the former president.

 At least 13 people have been recorded dead, with the number still rising.
