2021 Sudan coup d'état

On 24 October 2021, the Sudanese military took control of the Sudanese government in Khartoum through a coup d'état. The military arrested at least five senior government figures, including Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok. The coup also caused internet outages in the country.

Later that day, Head of State Abdel Fattah al-Burhan declared a state of emergency and announced that he was dissolving the government and the Sovereignty Council. In a televised address, he stated that a new government would lead the country until the next elections in July 2023.

A month later on 21 November, a deal was made in which all political prisoners including Hamdok were released, with Hamdok becoming prime minister again.

An unsuccessful coup had previously happened in September 2021.
