With a coup in Sudan, the Islamic republic lost one of its erstwhile allies in the Muslim world on Thursday, April 11.
Sudan's army announced it has seized power after months of protest demonstrations in that country. The army also broke the news of Omar al-Bashir's arrest on Thursday.
The Sudanese army also announced that it will hold political power in the country for two years.
In the meantime, Sudan's Defense Minister Awad Ibn Ouf said Thursday afternoon that Bashir "has been imprisoned at a safe place."
He added that Sudan's Constitutional Law has been suspended and a military junta will be in charge for two years, before an election will be held.
General Awad Ibn Ouf also announced that the Sudanese airspace will be closed to air traffic for 24 hours and all borders will be closed until further notice. Meanwhile, he called for an end to protests all over Sudan.
The developments occurred after Sudan's television this morning called on the people to wait for "an important announcement by the army."
Earlier AP had quoted two state officials in Sudan as saying that Bashir has stepped down under pressure from the army after 30 years in power. Other reports said a number of other officials were arrested.
