Finally got in touch my intelligence source (a defected NISS officer) he says:
"This is all a planned attack by the RSF, NISS, People's Police militia, People's Security Militia, Defence Miltia, Student Security Militia & AbdelHai Islamist Militia. They were a force of 10,000."

He asked me what the published death toll is currently (he has no access to internet due to the blackout)
When I said 40 people, he sighed and said:
"That's not even a quarter of the number of people killed."

He says, "some people were beaten to death and thrown in the Nile, some shot multiple times and thrown in the Nile and others were hacked with machetes and thrown in the Nile. It was a massacre."
He says, when the forces entered the sit-in site, they entered the make-shift clinic and raped two female doctors.
He says the forces then turned to the tea ladies and started beating them. They yelled "civilian or military?" at them as they beat them.

He says that the army was withdrawn from the site from 4 pm on Sunday. The orders for them to withdraw came from the Transitional Military Council.
The army vehicles guarding the entrances were replaced with Rapid Support Forces vehicles.

He says there were people arrested and smuggled out of the sit-in site in ambulances.
"Others they caught were looted. They would hold a gun to their heads and get them to hand over any phones or cash they had. If they had a motorbike, they would take that too."

He says some of the tents they burnt had people inside.
"Some of the ambulances were used to smuggle out dead bodies and they would drive up to the Blue Nile Bridge and throw them into the Nile."

He says 500 members of NISS and RSF changed into police uniform and penetrated the sit-in by foot.
Army soldiers were not involved.

He says "400 NISS trucks, with the 5000 members of the cocktail of security forces I mentioned, entered through the main road of the sit-in (Shari3 Al-Qiyada)."
He added that they blocked all of the exits so that people could not leave.

On today:
"They entered mosques this morning and heavily beat people gathered for Eid prayers. Even the Imams."
He says that they have completely taken over the capital and there is no sign of the army anywhere.

He has seen army soldiers in tears. Mid-ranking officers & below have told him that the Transitional Military Council does not represent them.
There were higher orders to strip the army of their weapons four days ago. Some have broken into weapon warehouses & found them empty.

This video shows an army soldier carrying a gun on the morning of the attack. Could the story they are telling of their arms being stripped be an excuse for their lack of intervention? My source says they felt helpless and riddled with remorse.
