An attempt by soldiers in Sudan to takeover power in the country on Monday was successfully thwarted by the government.
According to state television, the coup came from soldiers in Sudan military’s armored corps.
It was unclear who led the attempted coup, but authorities said the push was thwarted and some suspects have been held for taking parts.
The country has been ruling under a power-sharing arrangement between the military and civilian players since the former head of state Omar al-Bashir was toppled in April 2019 following a protracted protest and civil unrest.
This is coming about two weeks after soldiers led a successful takeover of power in Guinea on September 5, ending President Alpha Conde’s long grip on power.
