Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, who is reportedly under house arrest, is asking Sudanese people to continue holding peaceful protests and “defend the revolution”, according to a post on Sudan’s information ministry Facebook page.
It says joint military forces that earlier detained him in his house have been pressuring him to announce a statement supporting the coup.
After refusing to endorse the coup, the army has now moved the prime minister to an unknown location, it adds in another post.
Earlier, the ministry said that civilian members of Sudan’s transitional ruling body and a number of ministers had been detained and taken to an unknown location.
“Civilian members of the transitional sovereign council and a number of ministers from the transitional government have been detained by joint military forces and taken to an unidentified location,” it said in a statement on Facebook
