A spokesman for the UN Secretary-General added: “The United Nations stands with the Government and people of Sudan in this effort.”

The Sudanese army said in a statement that efforts to oust the coup had been thwarted and called on the Sudanese people to confront the failed coup.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Sudanese Transitional Council announced that the country’s affairs were now under control and that the revolution was victorious.

A spokesman for the Sudanese Transitional Council called on Sudanese to take to the streets and defend their country.
