Sudanese security forces violently attempted to disperse a long-running sit-in outside the military headquarters in Khartoum on Monday, witnesses said, with at least five reported dead.<\/p>\n

The Sudanese Professionals\u2019 Association, one of the main protest organising groups, said on its official Twitter account that forces were using live rounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe protesters are being subjected to a bloody massacre in an attempt to disperse the sit in, live bullets and extensive force is being used,\u2019\u2019 the group said.<\/p>\n

A doctor\u2019s organisation said two protesters had been killed in the dawn raid.<\/p>\n

Omar al-Bashir, who ruled Sudan for decades, was deposed and arrested in a military coup in April that followed months of anti-government protests.<\/p>\n

But protesters say the new military rulers are a continuation of al-Bashir\u2019s former regime and have continued their sit-in.<\/p>\n
