Reuters report that Sudan's military dissolved the boards of all state companies and national agricultural projects, in what appeared to be the junta's latest move to tighten control after seizing power in a coup on Oct. 25.

The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition said three more civilians - two Sudanese Congress Party members (Sharif Mohammed Osman and Hamza Farouk) and a senior member of the Tamkeen committee that aims to retrieve illicit financial gains of the ousted al-Bashir regime (Taha Osman Ishaq) - were arrested after meeting UNITAMS head Volker Perthes.

The FFC also said any reports of contact between it and the military, or of an imminent agreement between the military and deposed prime minister Abdallah Hamdok, were untrue and "nothing but desperate efforts to sow frustration in the intrepid Sudanese street (movement)".
