Military forces arrest senior civilian figures in Sudan
The Hindu
Sudan has been on edge since a failed coup plot last month unleashed bitter recriminations between military and civilian groups meant to be sharing power following the 2019 ouster of former leader Omar al-Bashir.
Military forces arrested several members of Sudan's civilian leadership early on October 25, Al Hadath TV reported, as a prominent pro-democracy group called on Sudanese to take to the streets to resist any military coup.
Family sources told Reuters that military forces had stormedthe house of Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's media adviser and arrested him.
There was no immediate comment from the military.
