Ten Sudanese die as camp stormed (in Egypt)
At least 10 Sudanese migrants, including children, have died as Egyptian riot police broke up a makeshift protest camp in Cairo.

Thousands of police stormed the camp, set up near United Nations offices in September, wielding truncheons and firing water cannon at the protesters.

A stampede was reported as police forced hundreds of people onto buses.
...
"There was a stampede that left 30 of the protesters injured, most of them the elderly and young and they were immediately taken to the hospital where 10 of them died," the interior ministry said.

Bastards. It was a peaceful protest.
