 Sudanese authorities say they have arrested scores of members of the former ruling party, accusing them of plotting acts of destruction as young people took to the streets and separate pro-democracy protests in the capital. Police detained at least 200 members of the National Congress Party, NCP, on the 32nd anniversary of the coup that brought that party's former leader, ex-President Omar Abashil, to power. Omar Abashil was in turn ousted in 2019 and replaced by a shaky military civilian transitional government that has promised to hold elections and has regularly accused NCP lawyers of trying to undermine its work and disrupt the country.
