Sudan opposition group calls for extra help at hospitals

The umbrella group behind months of opposition protests in Sudan made a plea to local doctors on Tuesday, calling on them to head to hospitals to help treat injured protesters. 

"We call on all of our country's honourable doctors to head to the hospitals and serve in the emergency rooms to treat the wounded," the Sudanese Professionals Association said on Twitter. 

Referring to Sudan's Transitional Military Council as "the council of oppression and brutality", the group accused military forces of continuing to suppress protesters and violently targeting civilians.
