Sudan: Stand fast amid attacks on protesters; defer inbound travel for 24 hours

Members in Sudan on 3 June should stand fast in a secure location amid efforts by the security forces to disperse sit-ins around the country, including at the military headquarters in the capital Khartoum. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) moved to disperse the Khartoum sit-in at around 05.00 (local time), using live ammunition and tear gas. At least nine people have been killed and hundreds others injured. Some flights at Khartoum International Airport (KRT) have been delayed and cancelled. Further violence is expected, and all inbound travel should be deferred for at least the next 24 hours.
