21/9/2021: Sudan Tribune  – Hamdok: foiled coup proves the need to reform Sudan’s security sector

Sudan Tribune report on reactions from within Sudan following the failed coup attempt.

Wajdi Saleh, a member of the Empowerment Removal Committee, repeated calls to purge the military and security agencies from the Islamists in order to mitigate the risk of coups d’état and to protect the transition.

Military analyst and former general Hanafi Abdallah said that the coup attempt was limited as it only involved elements in the Armoured Corps and the Airborne Forces. He added that the ongoing investigations would reveal the political forces behind the coup.
