Sudan's Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok is under house arrest,  according to the report by Sky News Arabia on Monday citing his office.

A military force took the prime minister to "an unknown location," said another TV channel, Al-Arabiya, citing sources familiar to Hamdok. Military forces detained several members of Sudan's civilian leadership before dawn on Monday, as per media reporets, as a prominent pro-democracy group called on Sudanese to take to the streets to resist any military coup.

Citing unidentified sources, Al Hadath stated “Hamdok had been placed under house arrest, and that unidentified military forces arrested four cabinet ministers, one civilian member of the ruling Sovereign Council, and several state governors and heads of political parties.”

Sudanese military and paramilitary forces deployed across the capital Khartoum, curbing civilians' movements, as agitators carrying the national flag burnt tires in different areas of the city, according to reports.  Sudan has been on edge since a failed coup plot last month unleashed bitter recriminations between military and civilian groups implied to be sharing power following the 2019 ouster of former leader Omar al-Bashir.
