Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Sudan’s army detains PM and other civilian leaders in coup attempt | Sudan | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Protesters in Khartoum reportedly face gunfire after military forces arrest members of sovereign council Quote Sudan’s military has launched a coup, arresting leading politicians and declaring a state of emergency, as thousands of protesters who flooded the streets of Khartoum in opposition reportedly faced gunfire. Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who headed Sudan’s power-sharing sovereign council, justified the seizure of power by saying infighting between the military and civilian parties threatened the country’s stability. Footage shared online appeared to show protesters blocking streets and setting fire to tires in the capital and its twin city of Omdurman, as security forces used teargas to disperse them. Protesters could be heard chanting: “The people are stronger, stronger,” and: “Retreat is not an option!” as plumes of smoke filled the air. The internet has been cut and key bridges closed.
