KHARTOUM– The internet and phone lines were largely cut around dawn, shortly before reports began emerging that armed forces had “arrested” the leaders of Sudan’s transitional authorities.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan appeared on television later to announce the removal of the transitional authorities and declare a state of emergency.The information ministry said “joint military forces” were behind the detentions. Apart from Burhan’s televised address, the information ministry’s statements on Facebook have been the only channel providing regular announcements.“We call on the Sudanese people to protest using all peaceful means possible… to take back their revolution from the thieves,” it said in a statement.People set alight tyres and blocked Khartoum’s roads in protest, while others marched through the streets of the capital chanting anti-coup slogans and carrying the Sudanese flag.
“This would contravene the Constitutional Declaration and the democratic aspirations of the Sudanese people,” said US special envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman.“I call on the security forces to immediately release those who have been unlawfully detained or placed under house arrest,” he said on Twitter.
