BREAKING: Sudan Army Contains Failed Coup Attempts, State Media Reports

 “There has been a failed coup attempt, the people should confront it,” state media reported.

A member of the country’s ruling council told Reuters that the situation has been brought under control.

Interrogation of suspects involved in the attempted coup on Monday was due to begin and the military would issue a statement shortly, spokesman Mohamed Al Faki Suleiman said.

Suleiman had earlier appealed to all Sudanese to defend the country. In a comment on Facebook, he said, “Run to defend your country and protect the transition.”

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a source told AFP that the coup had involved an attempt to take control of state radio in Omdurman, across the river Nile from the capital Khartoum.
