TEHRAN, Jun 3 - Germany is condemning violence in Sudan that has led to the deaths of more than a dozen protesters.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said Monday that Germany "is deeply worried about the latest developments in Khartoum" after security forces cleared a protest camp outside the army headquarters in Sudan's capital.
The spokesman, Christofer Burger, said security forces "appeared to have used firearms and there were deaths and numerous injuries."
Burger added: "Nothing justifies the violence and it must stop immediately. The violent clearance of the protest area greatly endangers the process of handing over governing powers to a civilian-led government."
He said Germany supports the African Union and United Nations-led process, and called on the parties in Sudan to avoid further escalation and return to the negotiating table.
