Soldiers stormed the headquarters of Sudan’s state broadcaster and detained some employees on Monday, the information ministry said, as part of what it has called a “coup”.

“Joint military forces have stormed the TV and radio headquarters in Omdurman and detained a number of staff,” the ministry said in a statement posted on Facebook.

Following news of Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok’s house arrest, demonstrators took to the streets and blocked roads in Khartoum, Sudan’s capital city.
