25 October 2021 Unidentified military personnel besieged the home of Sudan Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, declaring him under house arrest.
This was reported by Al Hadath TV, quoted by al Jazeera.
The ministers of industry and information and an advisor to the premier have also been arrested.
"Access to telecommunications has been limited" - says al Jazeera from Khartoum - "so it is very difficult to obtain information on what is happening".
According to other sources, soldiers loyal to General Burhan would have taken control, in a very delicate moment in the transition of the country divided into two factions since the ouster of former president Omar al-Bashir.
Only yesterday the pro-democracy groups had warned of a possible coup after the security forces had dispersed with tear gas a demonstration of pro-militaries calling for the dissolution of the transitional government.
The demonstrators had briefly blocked the main roads and bridges of Khartoum, isolating the central area from the northern districts.
