Armed forces detained Sudan's prime minister over his refusal to support their 'coup' on Monday, the information ministry said, after weeks of tensions between the military and civilian figures sharing power since the ouster of autocrat Omar al-Bashir.

Armed forces detained Sudan's prime minister over his refusal to support their "coup" on Monday, the information ministry said, after weeks of tensions between the military and civilian figures sharing power since the ouster of autocrat Omar al-Bashir.

Internet services were cut across the country and the main roads and bridges connecting with Khartoum shuttered, it added. America’s Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman said “the US is deeply alarmed at reports of a military takeover of the transitional government”. Bashir, who had ruled Sudan with an iron fist for three decades, is behind bars in Khartoum’s high security Kober prison.

“The crisis at hand is engineered — and is in the shape of a creeping coup,” mainstream FFC leader Yasser Arman told Saturday’s press conference in Khartoum.
