 Now Sudan's number two military commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagelo, also known as Handeti, has said that the October coup had failed, suggesting that he would intervene if Sudan is heading for the abyss. He said he had failed to bring about change in the country and that he would do so if Sudan is heading towards the abyss.
