Thousands of people flooded the streets of Sudanese capital Khartoum and its twin city of Omdurman to protest an apparent military takeover.

Military forces arrested Sudan’s acting prime minister and senior government officials, disrupted Internet access, and blocked bridges in the capital, the country’s information ministry said, describing the actions as a coup.
