The Al-Sudani newspaper noted that security forces carried out an extensive series of arrests that included the commander of the Revolutionary Awakening Council Ali Maghuk.
The former minister was arrested in the city of Qalabat with several officers, including retirees and Islamists.
It was also written that this was not an attempted coup against the aid force but against the government in general.
This attempt was planned by the rebel officer Wood Ibrahim and Majok.
The paper mentioned that Ali Maguk had previously served as state minister in the regime’s Supreme Council during the Bashir era.
According to the report, Majokh entered Sudan via Ethiopia and arrived in the city of Klubat, where he decided to meet with several military officials.
It was further alleged that the group had been planning the coup for some time and the security forces were following their actions.
According to the report, the detainees are still under investigation by the intelligence services, at the end of which the findings will be revealed to the general public.
