Sudanese acting Prime Minister, Abdallah Hamdok, was on Monday reportedly placed under house arrest by a group of an unidentified military force, local television station Al Hadath TV is reporting.
The reported military takeover also came with the disruption of communication lines and a crackdown on the internet as well as blocked bridges in the capital Khartoum, the country’s information ministry said, describing the actions as a coup. Ayman Khalid, governor of the state containing Khartoum, was also arrested, according to the official Facebook page of his office.
Sudan has been on the edge as it grapples with a deep political crisis that trailed the toppling of the long-standing president, Omar al-Bashir, in 2019.Since then, the military and civilian groups have been sharing power in the African country in what Reuters described as “an uneasy alliance.”
