SUDAN’S EX PRESIDENT REMANDED IN JAIL BY THE MILITARY

Reports have confirmed that ousted Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir has been transferred from a holding facility into jail.

He was forced out of power a little over a week ago by the military on the back of massive protests. The Transitional Military Council, TMC, confirmed his arrest days after his ouster.

Bashir was ousted by the army last Thursday after four months of protests against his three decades of iron-fisted rule. The country’s new military rulers had said he was being held “in a secure place”.

Initially, rumours had it that he was being held in the capital Khartoum at the Kobar maximum security prison. They added that he is being held in solitary confinement under tight security.
