Sudan's PM urges restraint as army and civilian divisions deepen

Sudan's government urged all political factions Monday to "refrain from escalating" unrest after police dispersed pro-military protesters on the third day of well-organised sit-ins in Khartoum. Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, who gathered his cabinet for an "urgent" meeting, has called recent unrest the "worst and most dangerous crisis" of the country's precarious two-year transition since the fall of hardline ruler Omar al-Bashir.
