The United Nations Security Council is holding an urgent meeting later today following the military coup in Sudan.
At least seven people have been killed and approximately one-hundred-and-forty injured during protests where soldiers fired on crowds who opposed the dissolution of the civilian government. The coup has been condemned around the world and the US has halted $700m in aid, intended to help Sudan transition to full democracy.
Abdelmonim Eljak was adviser to the Minister of Cabinet Affairs but he's now in hiding to avoid arrest.
