China News Network, October 27 - The situation in Sudan suddenly changed on the 25th, and Transitional Government Prime Minister Hamduk was "under house arrest" by the military. According to Al Jazeera Chinese Network, on the 26th, the Sudanese Prime Minister's Office said that the Hamduk couple had returned to their home. Meanwhile, night demonstrations erupted in Khartoum to protest the military's efforts to disband the Council of Ministers and the Sovereignty Council. On the other hand, Sudan's ambassadors to 12 countries also expressed their condemnation of the military coup that took place in that country.
Prime Minister under house arrest? The military said the decision was reasonable
According to reports, the office of Prime Minister Hamduk of the Transitional Government of sudan reportedly said that the Prime Minister and his wife had returned to their residence in the capital Khartoum. The office added that some ministers and political leaders remained detained in unidentified locations.
Earlier, SAF Commander-in-Chief Burhan denied the prime minister's detention at a press conference on the 26th, adding, "He is with me at my home to protect his safety, his life is normal, and he will soon return home." ”
In a televised address, Bulhan tried to justify his decision. "Political forces have instigated chaos and forced us to take action to protect Sudan," he said, adding that what the country is currently experiencing has become a real danger.
In response, the Hamduk office issued a statement saying that the "coup leaders" said that everything they did was to protect the revolution, but that the statements "cannot deceive the Sudanese people". The coalition being formed will be led behind the scenes by the National Congress Party, the party of former Sudanese President Bashir.
Night protests erupted in the capital rejecting the military's move
Against this backdrop, night protests broke out in parts of Khartoum as a sign of rejection of the measures announced by the commander-in-chief of the army.
Protesters chanted slogans of restoring civilian authorities and rejecting military rule, and they also chanted the insistence on peace movement and its escalation until their demands were realized.
The report said that during the demonstration on the 26th, 4 people were killed by military bullets, and more than 40 others were injured. Since then, thousands of Sudanese have continued to protest against the military's efforts to control power and expel civilian partners from power.

The Statement was also signed by sudanese ambassadors to Belgium, the European Union, Geneva, United Nations agencies, South Africa, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, Sweden and Canada.
Sudan's ambassador to Washington, Nuradin Sati, said in a previous statement to Al Jazeera that Washington's suspension of aid to Sudan in response to the military coup was only the first step and that it must also continue to exert pressure on the Burhan regime.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said Sudanese officials in illegal detention should be released immediately, adding at a news conference that he once again strongly condemned the Sudanese military's seizure of power.
The EU has also condemned the coup in Sudan and threatened to suspend financial aid to Sudan if the Sudanese military does not immediately return power to the civilian government.
In addition, the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations stated that it had suspended development cooperation with Sudan until further notice, adding that "we will closely monitor the situation after the coup d'état." ”
On the other hand, Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, pointed out that Russia believes that what happened in Sudan on the 25th may be a power transfer, not a military coup.
