Power Grab in Sudan: Military Stages Coup, Detains Officials and Dissolves Government

By Haruna Abu-Faisal

Sudan has once again been plunged into uncertainty and chaos as the military has taken control of the country in a coup, dissolving the transitional government and detaining senior officials, including the prime minister.

This brazen power grab comes just two years after a popular uprising ousted longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir and led to a power-sharing agreement between the military and civilian groups.

The move has been met with widespread condemnation from the international community, which is calling for the immediate release of all those detained and a return to civilian rule.

The coup has raised concerns about the future of Sudan’s fragile democracy and the potential for renewed violence and instability in the country.
