KHARTOUM - National security and intelligence personnel fired in the air as they tried twice on Tuesday morning to disperse protesters camping outside the defense ministry in central Khartoum, witnesses said.

Army soldiers on armored vehicles were guarding the presidential palace but not moving against demonstrators, a Reuters witness said. Bashir, a former paratrooper, who is being sought by international prosecutors for alleged war crimes in the country’s western Darfur region, has refused to step down and said his opponents need to seek power through the ballot box.

Activists said they chose Saturday for their march to coincide with the April 6 anniversary of a 1985 military coup that forced long-time autocrat Jaafar Nimeiri to step down after protests.
