News about the “military coup” in Sudan.
Some media sources reported that a military coup had taken place in Sudan and that Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk had been placed under house arrest by unknown gunmen.
33 days after the failed coup in Sudan, on Monday (today) some media sources reported the coup in the country.
According to Sputnik, news sources such as Arab News and Al-Hadath reported on a military coup in Sudan.
Unidentified gunmen reportedly attacked the home of Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk, who is currently under house arrest.
According to al-Hadath, unidentified gunmen also detained four Sudanese cabinet ministers and a member of the Sudanese Governing Council in the early hours of Monday (today).
According to some local media sources, a number of people living in the Sudanese capital Khartoum have taken to the streets to protest the attempted military coup.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press quoted “Sudanese officials” as saying that military forces had placed at least five senior government officials, including the prime minister, under house arrest.
Amid the news of the coup in Sudan, media sources reported the closure of the capital Khartoum airport.
The Sudanese Ministry of Information announced that joint military forces were pressuring Hamdouk to issue a statement confirming the coup. In a message from his forced residence, he called on Sudanese to adhere to peace and take to the streets to defend their revolution.
Sudanese media have reported the start of an urgent meeting of Sudanese army commanders to review the current developments and the arrest of most senior political party leaders and the establishment of security measures in Khartoum.
In such circumstances, the US Special Envoy to Sudan also expressed concern over reports of a military coup in Sudan.
The news comes amid reports of a coup in Sudan in late September.
Sudan’s official television, on September 20, 1400, abruptly stopped broadcasting live and announced that a “failed coup” had taken place in the country.
Speculation about a coup in Sudan comes as the country witnessed the ouster of former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on April 11, 2019, following widespread popular protests against the deteriorating economic situation.
Sudan has entered a transition phase since August 21, 2019, which will last for 53 months, and early 2024 elections are scheduled to be held in this country. Power is currently divided between the army, the armed forces and a coalition called Al-Hurriya wa Al-Taghir.
