The uprising was brought under control and its leaders have been arrested, information minister Hamza Balloul says
Sudan says it foiled a coup staged by military officers and supporters of ousted ruler Omar al-Bashir, the latest upheaval in the African country that’s trying to emerge from decades of dictatorship.
Sudanese forces quelled a mutiny at a military barracks in Omdurman, the twin city of the capital Khartoum, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified as they’re not authorised to speak to the media. Some roads in the cities were briefly closed earlier and there was a military presence on the streets, while Asharq News reported a failed attempt to seize the state TV and radio building.
Reforms implemented by the interim administration have helped Sudan secure funding from the International Monetary Fund and a pledge by the Paris Club of creditors to rework $23.5bn of its debt.
