12/7/19: Guardian - Sudan's military leaders accused of ordering massacre, by Ruth Maclean

 The Guardian reports on an investigation by BBC Africa Eye which found that the June 3 massacre was ordered by Sudan’s military rulers.

 BBC Africa Eye’s documentary Sudan’s Livestream Massacre analysed more than 300 videos shot on protesters’ mobiles on the morning of the massacre, also including testimony from soldiers who admitted taking part in it.

 One of the soldiers interview said Rapid Support Forces leader Himedti ordered the massacre, saying “we received the instructions on 20 May…after that, Abdul Rahim Dagalo [another commander] came to see us and told us to clear the sit-in site, because these people have to be made to flee.

 The soldier added that: “for [Sudan] to move forward, and for peace to become a reality, we have to deal decisively with all manifestations of chaos.”
