PM of Sudan Abdalla Hamdok and senior officials 'detained' amid claims of attempted military coup

Sudan's interim prime minister and at least five senior government officials have been detained by military forces, according to reports.

The country's main pro-democracy political group, the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), called on people to take to the streets in response to any apparent coup attempt.

"We urge the masses to go out on the streets and occupy them, close all roads with barricades, stage a general labour strike, and not to cooperate with the putschists and use civil disobedience to confront them," the group said in a statement.
