The leader of Sudan's military coup said the military will appoint a new prime minister within a week, as international condemnation of the takeover builds.
After seizing power earlier this week, Sudan’s military dissolved the transitional government and detained Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and other ministers. The deposed leader and his wife were allowed to return to their home in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, on Tuesday.
