Sudan's military dissolves transitional government in coup

and declared a state of emergency Monday, catapulting the country into its biggest political crisis in its two-year-old transition.

In a televised address, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said an"independent and fair representative government" would assume power until one is elected in 2023. Several articles of the constitution have been suspended and state governors removed, he said. Hamdok had been under pressure to release a statement"in support of the takeover," a statement from the Information Ministry read, but instead he called on pro-democracy protestors take to the streets in peaceful protest.

The Central Committee of Sudan Doctors, who are aligned with the civil component of the now-dissolved Sovereign Council, said that three people were killed and more than 80 were injured in the incident. Earlier, the group said at least two people were killed. But following a failed coup attempt in September, attributed to forces loyal to Bashir, military leaders have been demanding reforms to the Forces of Freedom and Change coalition and the replacement of the cabinet.Thousands of demonstrators gathered in front of the presidential palace in Khartoum on October 17 to seize power. They were organized by a military-aligned faction of the FFC, and called for Burhan to initiate a coup and overthrow the government.
