Global Dispatches -- World News That MattersProtests in Sudan Enter a Dangerous New PhaseSudan is at a crossroads. In April, popular protests lead to the ouster of the country's longtime ruler, Omar al Bashir. He was toppled in a coup -- but the peaceful protests did not stop.

The standoff between the military council and civilian protesters held firm until early June, when a paramilitary group known as the Rapid support forces, or RSF, attacked the protesters, killing over 100. At time of recording, th...2019-06-1328 min
