BBC World Service - World Update, Sudan massacre: BBC investigation suggests attack ordered from the top

New evidence suggests Sudan attack ordered by leadership

The BBC has found evidence that the mass killing of protesters in Sudan last month was ordered from the top and planned in advance. Two officers from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces who took part in the attack said instructions were given almost two weeks earlier. 

Also on the programme: Italian prosecutors have opened an investigation into allegations of collusion between Russia and the ruling League party; and some music from a gender-bending Moroccan singing group. (Photo: A Sudanese man waves the national flag, Credit: Reuters)
