Civilian Government dissolves Military seizes...?
Sudan's military has dissolved a civilian government, arrested political leaders and declared a state of emergency.
Protests are taking place in the capital, Khartoum, against the military takeover. Reports from there say that there was a shooting.
This was followed by the formation of a coalition government of the people and the army, with Abdallah Hamdock as PM. Sporadic protests were demanding that the army take full control of the country.
Meanwhile, unofficial reports have emerged that prime minister Abdallah Hamdock has been placed under house arrest by unidentified gunmen. A further 4 ministers and the prime minister's media adviser have also been arrested.
Sudan, which is facing a deep economic crisis, is receiving massive international assistance. Now that the military is in power, there is a risk that aid will be cut off.
