Video obtained and verified by Middle East Eye shows crowds recovering a body from the Blue Nile on Tuesday amid reports of security forces dumping victims in the river.

By comparing landmarks in the video with map imagery we've been able to locate the exact spot near the Blue Nile Bridge in Khartoum where the body was pulled out of the water, just a few hundred metres away from the military headquarters and protest camp where Monday's crackdown took place.

Crowds of people were gathering on the riverbank and taking to boats to search for bodies, MEE's correspondent said.
