Reports of attempted military coup come from Sudan
Reports are coming from Sudan about the next tension in the situation. The reports say that members of the Sudanese army carried out an attempted military coup, arresting several government ministers of this African country.
At the moment, it is reported that the military has blocked the entrances to the capital of the country, Khartoum, and exits from it. Among the arrested top officials of Sudan are the ministers of communications, finance, information, and others. It is known that the military is trying to arrest the head of the Sudanese government. According to some reports, they surrounded his house. Apparently, Prime Minister Abdullah Hamduk (Hamdok) will soon be arrested as well.
It is reported that the Sudanese general Burkhan is behind the attempted military coup. Local sources write that he is preparing to form a new government, as he believes that the current cabinet "is not working in the interests of the Sudanese people."
Meanwhile, the situation in Khartoum is heating up. It is reported that hundreds of local residents are setting up barricades on the streets of the Sudanese capital, lighting fires in preparation to resist a military coup.
The situation in this African country is particularly noteworthy. The fact is that in Sudan, Russia was supposed to create a logistics center on the Red Sea. This is a facility in the city of Port Sudan. It is a major logistics hub, which is one of the most important components for the Sudanese economy. At the same time, Khartoum stated several times that "the words about the creation of a Russian base do not really correspond." This was followed by confirmation of the information about the negotiations with the Russian side.
During the presidency of Donald Trump in the United States, the Sudanese authorities restored political and diplomatic dialogue with Israel. Trump said that this is his merit in the framework of the "good deal." Many representatives of the Sudanese generals perceived the restoration of relations with Israel, to put it mildly, without much enthusiasm.
