Members of the civilian government and leaders of the ruling coalition of the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) have been arrested. According to the latest unconfirmed media reports, the military of Sudan has surrounded the residence of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and placed him under house arrest. The military has also arrested several civilian officials including one of the prime minister’s advisors and a member of the country’s sovereign council. Due to restricted telecommunications access in the country, the sources said it was difficult to report the exact developments.
The news about the arrest of the minister of industry has been confirmed as he put out a social media post just a few minutes before his arrest confirming military presence outside his home. The other political figures who are reportedly arrested include the minister of information, advisor to the prime minister, and the spokesperson for the sovereign council who is a civilian member of the presidency of Sudan. The sovereignty council is a joint military and civilian body and reflects the high tensions between the two sides.
