Ambassador Nureldin Satti told Newsweek from Washington, D.C.: 'The people will never accept this coup.'
Sudan's leading pro-democracy political group, the Sudanese Professionals' Association, has called in civilians to take to the streets to protest the apparent coup attempt.
The military leadership has been at odds with Hamdok since he took office as part of a transitional government that succeeded dictator Omar al-Bashir, who was overthrown after months of mass protests. Since al-Bashir was deposed, the country has been ruled in a fragile power sharing agreement via the Sovereign Council, made up of both civilian and military officials. This was supposed to give way to a full multi-party democracy in November 2022.
Sudan's military thwarted an attempted coup in September, which it blamed on Bashir loyalists opposed to the democratic transition. Twenty-one officers and a number of soldiers were detained related to the plot, Reuters reported.
