Sudan fends off military coup, government says
Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok said the plotters have been arrested.
Sudan’s interim government said Tuesday it halted an attempted coup by officials linked with the previous regime of ousted dictator Omar al-Bashir.
Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok said the plot was hatched by both civilian and military officials, and that those involved had been detained for questioning.
“There is a special committee investigating what has happened,” Hamdok said.
Sudanese officials have not yet named those allegedly behind the attempt, but assured the public and the world that the security situation in Khartoum was fully under control.
