Barricades go up in Sudan and people say they are too scared to go out
It's three days since the Sudanese military government attacked civilian protesters in Khartoum, killing over 30 and injuring many more. An agreement on the transition to civilian rule has been scrapped and tensions remain high. The internet has been blocked, security forces are patrolling the streets and some neighbourhoods in the capital Khartoum have raised their own barricades to protect their areas. Newsday's David Whitty spoke to one woman, who we won't name for her own safety, who says people are now too scared to leave their homes.
