After nearly 30 years of power, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has been ousted and arrested, the defense minister said.

Awad Ibn Phew told state television that the army had decided to oversee a two-year transition period followed by elections.

He also said that a state of emergency of three months was being put in place.

Demonstrations against Bashir, who has been running Sudan since 1989, have been going on for several months.

Mr. Ibn Ouf stated that the "regime" was being removed and that Mr. Bashir would be kept in a safe place.

He added that Sudan's constitution was suspended, borders crossed borders until further notice and that the airspace was closed for 24 hours.

Mr. Bashir is the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which accuses him of having organized war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Darfur region of western Sudan.

However, we do not know what will happen to him after his arrest.
