Vast crowds of protesters join Sudan 'million-strong march': AFP

KHARTOUM: Huge crowds of demonstrators flocked to join a "million-strong" march Thursday outside Sudan's army headquarters to demand that the ruling military council hand power to a civilian adminstration.

Protesters gathered in greater numbers than recent days, packing all the roads and bridges leading to the central Khartoum complex, said AFP correspondents on the scene.

Talks between protest leaders and the generals over transfer of power remained deadlocked.
