Bashir fell to Sudan and the army assumes | The pr …

Sudanese chief of staff Kamal Abdel Maaruf announced today that the armed forces had removed Omar al-Bashir from the presidency and would badume power in the country for a period of two years. The announcement comes after thousands of protesters have camped around the main Khartoum military complex in recent days to ask for army support against President Al Bashir.

Earlier, Sudanese Minister Adel Mahjoub Hussein told Dubai TV channel Al-Hadath that the president had resigned. Meanwhile, the US CNN network said Al Bashir was under house arrest while military forces were deployed in various locations in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, and especially near public media.

Hussein, Minister of Production and Economic Affairs, was the first official source to report on the resignation of Al Bashir when he said that "there are consultations in order to form a military council to take power after the resignation of the president ".

The idea of ​​an exit from the powerful president's government was reinforced when it was learned that the National Security Corps announced the release of "all" political prisoners from the African country.

After the start of the day, local television predicted that the military would make an announcement of importance. Immediately after, thousands of protesters invaded the streets of the city.

This reaction is a continuation of the mobilizations begun in December to protest the rise in inflation and the local economic situation. In recent weeks, the political crisis has worsened and clashes with the police have escalated since Saturday, leaving at least 22 dead as reported by Sudan's Central Medical Committee.

Among the dead are five soldiers who clashed with security forces as they tried to disperse demonstrations in recent days, according to activists, and another 153 people were injured.
