There has reportedly been an attempted coup in Sudan.

Providing little detail Sudan’s state media called on citizens to counter the attempted seizure of power. It’s understood that a group of soldiers who have reportedly been arrested were behind the failed attempt.

In a social media post on Facebook Mohamed Al Faki Suleiman, a member of the ruling military-civilian council says that all is under control and the revolution is victorious. He says the interrogation of the suspects is set to begin and the military would issue a statement shortly.

Sudan has had tough time transitioning to civilian rule since the military staged a coup in April 2019. It ousted longtime President Omar al-Bashir. The North African country is ruled by a joint civilian and military government that faces economic and security challenges.
