Khartoum: Sudanese protest leaders said they cut all contact with the military rulers and called for "total civil disobedience" after a deadly crackdown Monday on a sit-in outside the army headquarters.
"We announce the end of all political contact and negotiations with the putschist Council," the Alliance for Freedom and Change, the umbrella group of the protest movement, said in a statement.
