Sudan shuts schools as pupils' killing sparks outrage

"There will be no negotiation today with the Transitional Military Council as our negotiating team is still in Al-Obeid and will return only tonight," said a negotiator and prominent protest leader, Satea al-Haj."What happened in Al-Obeid is sad. Killing peaceful civilians is an unacceptable crime that needs immediate accountability," he told journalists, quoted by state television.

On the streets, crowds of students rallied in Khartoum waving flags and chanting:"The people want to fight for the rights of martyrs." Authorities announced a night-time curfew in 4 towns in North Kordofan following the deaths in Al-Obeid, as the main protest group, the Sudanese Professionals Association, called for nationwide rallies against the"massacre."

The power-sharing deal agreed on July 17 calls for the establishment of a new governing body of 6 civilians and 5 generals.
