The country\u2019s state news channel played patriotic traditional music and scenes of the Nile river. The Umma Party, the country\u2019s largest political party, described the arrests as an attempted coup, and called on people to take to the streets in resistance. Earlier, the Sudanese Professionals\u2019 Association, a group leading demands for a transition to democracy, issued a similar call.<\/p>\n<p>A possible takeover by the military would be a major setback for Sudan, which has grappled with a transition to democracy since long-time autocrat Omar al-Bashir was toppled by mass protests.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s arrests come after weeks of rising tensions between Sudan\u2019s civilian and military leaders. A failed coup attempt in September fractured the country along old lines, pitting more-conservative Islamists who want a military government against those who toppled al-Bashir more than two years ago in mass protests. In recent days, both camps have taken to the street in demonstrations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/1000.jpeg?quality=90&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"This May 7, 2021, file photo shows U.S. Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman in Khartoum, Sudan.

It did not provide details about who was detained.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Monday, two officials confirmed that at least five government figures were detained. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.<\/p>\n<p>The officials said the detained government members include Industry Minister Ibrahim al-Sheikh, Information Minister Hamza Baloul, and Mohammed al-Fiky Suliman, member of the country\u2019s ruling transitional body, known as The Sovereign Council, and Faisal Mohammed Saleh, a media adviser to Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.<\/p>\n<p>The whereabouts of Hamdok were not immediately clear, amid media reports that security forces were stationed outside his home in Khartoum.<\/p>\n<p>Under Hamdok and the transitional council, Sudan has slowly emerged from years of international pariah status under al-Bashir. The country was removed from the United States\u2019 state supporter of terror list in 2020, opening the door for badly needed international loans and investment. The country\u2019s economy has struggled with the shock of a number economic reforms called for by international lending institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Ayman Khalid, governor of the state containing the capital, Khartoum, was also arrested, according to the official Facebook page of his office.<\/p>\n<p>There have been previous military coups in Sudan since it gained its independence from Britain and Egypt in 1956. Al-Bashir came to power in a 1989 military coup that removed the country\u2019s last elected government.<\/p>\n<p>The arrests followed meetings the U.S. Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman with Sudanese military and civilian leaders Saturday and Sunday in efforts to resolve the dispute. Sudan\u2019s state news website highlighted the meetings with military officials.<\/p>\n<p>The Sudanese Communist Party called on workers to go on strike and mass civil disobedience after what it described as a \u201cfull military coup\u201d orchestrated by the Sovereign Council\u2019s head Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan.<\/p>\n<p>NetBlocks, a group which tracks disruptions across the internet, said it had seen a \u201csignificant disruption\u201d to both fixed-line and mobile internet connections across Sudan with multiple providers early Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMetrics corroborate user reports network disruptions appearing consistent with an internet shutdown,\u201d the advocacy group said. \u201cThe disruption is likely to limit the free flow of information online and news coverage of incidents on the ground.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
