Security restored after coup bid, officials say

The Sudanese government has taken control over the security situation in the capital Khartoum after foiling a coup plot, according to an official statement on Tuesday. The failed attempt, carried out by a group of military officers from the remnants of the former regime, was brought under control, Hamza Baloul Al-Amir, Sudan’s information minister and government spokesman, said in the statement. “We, in the transitional government and the regular bodies, reaffirm that we are working in complete coordination,” he said.
