Protest leaders resume talks with Sudan's military rulers, seeking to build on a political breakthrough overshadowed by deadly shootings that the US blamed on the generals

The killings took place after nightfall on Monday, when protests in Sudan usually swell during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan that is marked by dawn-to-dusk fasting.Just hours earlier, the prosecutor general's office said ousted president Bashir had been charged over the killings of protesters during anti-regime demonstrations that led to the end of his rule last month.

The umbrella protest movement the Alliance for Freedom and Change said Monday's violence was to "disturb the breakthrough in the negotiations" with army generals as it blamed the bloodshed on the former regime's militias.Earlier on Monday, the generals and the protest movement said a breakthrough had been reached in their talks over handing of power to a civilian administration.

Osman said another meeting would be held on Tuesday "to discuss the period of transition and the composition of the authorities"."We agreed on forming the transitional authority on all three levels – the sovereign, the executive and the legislative," council spokesman Lieutenant General Shamseddine Kabbashi told reporters.

Prior to Monday's talks, dozens of protesters blocked Nile Street, a major avenue in the city, for the second consecutive day, an AFP correspondent reported.
