On 24 October 2021, the Sudanese military caused a coup against the government in Khartoum. At least five senior government figures were arrested, including Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.[1] The coup also caused internet outages in the country.
An unsuccessful coup happened in September 2021.[2]
Later that day, Head of State Abdel Fattah al-Burhan declared a state of emergency and announced the dissolution of the government and the Sovereignty Council.[3] In a televised address, he stated that a new government would lead the country until the next elections, which will be held in July 2023.[4]
A month later on 21 November, a deal was made in which all political prisoners including Hamdok were released with Hamdok becoming prime minister again.[5]
