Protester tells MEE Khartoum shooting lasted at least three hours

Speaking over the phone to MEE from Khartoum, Mai, a civic activist, and business owner described armed forces shooting live rounds for at least three hours on Khartoum's Sixtieth Street, while she hid inside a nearby building.

"At some moments it was really intense," she said, saying that tear gas cannisters were falling into the garden of the building she was sheltering in.
