Power-sharing talks stall

A Sudanese protester has been shot dead by members of a feared paramilitary group. Doctors have confirmed that the unidentified victim was shot in the head by members of the Rapid Support Forces in the south-eastern Sinnar state during a protest against allegations of RSF brutality over the weekend. BBC News reports that the incident comes as the signing of a power-sharing deal agreed earlier this month has once more been delayed. The military seized power in April following months of street demonstrations against long-time leader Omar al-Bashir but the protest leaders feared that real power remained in the same hands and continued their sit-ins.
