Sudan's Military Leader Abdel al-Burhan Lays Blame for Events in Country on 'Political Forces'

The military led by al-Burhan detained the prime minister of the transitional government Abdalla Hamdok, as well as several other politicians on 25 October declaring a state of emergency. Hamdok's detention was linked to his refusal to back, what the government described as a "coup" by the military.
