<p>Protest organisers said at least two people were killed in Khartoum as machine gun fire and explosions were heard and smoke rose from the area.</p>
<p>The military’s move comes after a weeks-long stand-off with protesters seeking a speedy transition to civilian rule following the ouster in April of long-time strongman Omar al-Bashir.</p>

<p>Dura Gambo, an activist, said large numbers of troops besieged the sit-in area outside the military’s headquarters and arrested protesters trying to leave.</p>
<p>“They have used the heavy rain yesterday and moved in the early morning to disperse people,” she said.</p>

<p>A statement by protest leaders said the military is trying to disperse the sit-in, and urged supporters to come to the area. The Sudan Doctors’ Association said at least two people were killed early on Monday.</p>
<p>An Associated Press journalist saw buses and soldiers on foot blocking roads leading to the protest site. Civilians were not allowed to walk in the streets, including women and children.</p>
<p>Videos circulating online appeared to show protesters standing at low brick barricades in the street, then being driven back by walls of blue-clad security forces carrying sticks.</p>
<p>Other videos showed protesters running through streets lined with sit-in tents, heads down, as the sound of gunfire filled the air.</p>
<p>Tens of thousands of protesters have been camped for weeks outside the military’s headquarters, the epicentre of Sudan’s uprising that led to the military overthrow of Mr al-Bashir.</p>
<p>Protesters had vowed to remain in the streets after Mr al-Bashir’s ouster, saying an end to his 30-year rule did not go far enough.</p>
<p><!--Ads5--></p>
<p>Protest leaders and military officials have been negotiating over the make-up of a transitional government, as protesters call for “limited military representation” in a sovereign council that would lead the country as it transitions to civilian rule over three years.</p>
<p>Both sides are split over the make-up and leadership of the council, with the ruling generals refusing to relinquish power.</p>
