Power-sharing talks between Khartoum's Transitional Military Council and Khartoumese Professional Association (SPA) have ended, after the SPA rejected the council's plan to hold elections in nine months. A breakdown between the Forces for Freedom and Change and the military also sparked a wave of violence in the capital, Khartoum, during which an eight-week peaceful protest was broken up by the Rapid Support Forces group, leaving at least 35 dead.
