Sudan PM Hamdok arrested, military leader dissolves gov’t – By By Tamila Varshalomidze (Al Jazeera) / Oct 25 2021
Sudan’s military leader declares a state of emergency, hours after his forces arrested PM Abdalla Hamdok and other civilian leaders.
Sudan’s military has placed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok under house arrest after moving him to an unknown location for refusing to support a coup, according to the information ministry.
The chairman of Sudan’s ruling body General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan later announced the dissolution of the transitional government and the sovereign council and declared a nationwide state of emergency.
