Sudanese protest organizers are dismissing a call by the ruling generals to resume talks, saying the military isn't serious about negotiating with the protesters while shooting and killing them at the same time.
Mohammed Yousef al-Mustafa, a spokesman for the Sudanese Professionals Association which is leading the protests, told The Associated Press that the protesters "totally reject" the call from Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan on Wednesday for the resumption of talks.
He says "this call is not serious" because "Burhan and those under him have killed the Sudanese and are still doing it. Their vehicles patrol the streets, firing at people."
Al-Mustafa says: "We will continue in our protests, resistance, strike and total civil disobedience."
