MOSCOW (Sputnik) - UN Special Representative for Sudan Volker Perthes met with ousted Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok to discuss the situation in the country.
Perthes took to Twitter to brief the public on the meeting.
This comes after on Saturday the opposition in Sudan called on citizens to hold a one-million-man
protest against the military takeover. According to the country's central medical committee, two of the protesters were killed outside Khartoum after the military had opened fire and used tear gas against the crowds. However, the law enforcement forces denied firing at protesters.
On Monday, the Sudanese military detained Hamdok and several other members of the government. The head of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, declared a state of emergency and dissolved the country's government. On Tuesday, Hamdok and his wife were reported to have returned to their residence.
