15/4/19: Guardian - Sudan protesters block apparent attempt to break up sit-in, by Jason Burke

Sudanese protesters have been forced to block an apparent attempt to break up their sit-in outside the defence ministry in Khartoum, where demonstrators have been pushing for a quick transition to civilian rule.

Protesters said they had joined hands and formed a ring around the sit-in area on Monday, after troops gathered on three sides and tractors were preparing to remove stone and metal barricades.
