Sudan coup attempt has failed, government says

Officials and military sources say a group of officers had tried to occupy state media building

Sudan's fragile political transition has been plunged into uncertainty following a reported coup attempt by soldiers loyal to former autocrat Omar al-Bashir, who was ousted in 2019.

As Sudan woke up to the government's claims of the alleged coup, details - including the individuals behind it - remained murky. Bashir himself came to power following a military coup in 1989.
