US, UK condemn 'attacks' on Sudan protesters

The US Embassy in Sudan is calling on Sudanese security forces to stop their "attacks against protesters and other civilians."
The British ambassador in Sudan, Ifran Siddiq, says he is "extremely concerned by the heavy gunfire" he'd heard from his official home in Khartoum, as well as "reports that Sudanese security forces are attacking the protest sit-in site, resulting in casualties."
Shams al-Deen al-Kabashi, spokesman for the council, said in televised remarks that the military was targeting what it considers a problematic area near the sit-in, nicknamed "Colombia."
