Failed Coup In Sudan; 40 Suspects Arrested

They attempted to take control of the military general command and the public broadcaster\’s television studios. Sudan has been on a fragile path to democracy since longtime strongman Omar al-Bashir was overthrown by the military in April 2019. The country is now ruled by a joint civilian and military government.

The transitional government has been under increasing pressure to end wars between rebel groups, grow the economy, attract much-needed foreign aid and deliver the promised democracy. Why has Africa been witnessing so many coups and coup attempts lately?
