16 died in fresh Sudan protest

Sudan police: 16 killed by stray bullets at protests and sit-ins
At least 16 people were killed and 20 others wounded by stray bullets at protests and sit-ins on Thursday and Friday, a Sudanese police spokesman said in a statement on Saturday as the nation waited to hear from its newly appointed leader. 
Government buildings and private property were also attacked, spokesman Hashem Ali added.
The transitional military council said on Saturday the head of the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS), Salah Abdallah Gosh, has resigned from his post.

"The chief of the transitional military council, Abdel Fattah Burhan, has accepted the resignation of ... the chief of NISS," the council said.

Gosh had overseen a sweeping crackdown led by NISS agents against protesters taking part in four months of mass demonstations.
The spy chief's resignation comes less than 24 hours after the Sudanese military replaced the country's transitional leader who had been in power only one day.
Thousands of jubilant protesters celebrated in the streets of Khartoum on Friday, after Defence Minister General Awad Ibn Aufannounced he was stepping down as head of the ruling military council.

He had been named the de facto leader after President Omar al-Bashir was forced out of office on Thursday after 30 years of rule.
Ibn Auf said he would be replaced by General Abdel Fattah Burhan, general inspector of the armed forces, as head of the transitional council, which will rule the country for two years until elections.
