Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir on Sunday told police to abstain from using excessive force against anti-government demonstrators as the UN called for a probe into deaths during the violent protests.
At least 19 people have been killed since December 19 during protests sparked by Khartoum's decision to hike the price of bread, according to the government.
