LIBERATION (formerly the Movement for Colonial Freedom) has followed with concern the alarming news emerging from Sudan since Monday of an apparent military coup which has ousted Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok and led to scores of arrests as well as a violent crackdown on the streets of the capital Khartoum.
The news of these worrying developments began to be communicated by progressive activists within the country in the early morning of Monday after military forces moved to seize the Sudanese radio and television broadcasting headquarters and abducted Hamdok to an unknown location after he apparently refused to sign a statement endorsing the military takeover — he has now been released and returned to his home under tight security.
Several other civilian cabinet ministers and pro-government politicians were also arrested and many remain detained amid an internet shutdown in the country.
