Sudan unrest: U.N. rights agency urges renewed talks on power transition

The United Nations’ rights agency (OHCHR) on Tuesday called on Sudanese security forces to halt attacks on Khartoum protest camps and allow negotiations for a transition to civilian-led power in the nation to continue.

OHCHR spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said between 30 and 35 people have been killed and several others injured in the violence.

She called for a “de-escalation” in the country, warning that the violence would be a setback for the country’s efforts to switch for a democratic switch.
