The Arab League has expressed concern over the developments in Sudan after the military detained leaders and ministers in an apparent coup.
It called on the Sudanese parties “to abide by the signed transitional arrangements,” according to a statement by Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit. Sudan is an African member of the Arab League.
It was referring to an August 2019 power-sharing deal for transitional government between military and civilian leaders that followed the removal of former President Omar al-Bashir.
Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok is among those reported to have been put under house arrest by unidentified soldiers on Monday.
