DR Congo army thwarts coup attempt

An attempted coup in&nbsp;Sudan&nbsp;"failed" early Tuesday, state media reported, without identifying the plotters.

"There has been a failed coup attempt, the people should confront it," state media reported, without elaborating.&nbsp;

A top government source told AFP the plotters had attempted to take over the state media building but "they failed".&nbsp;

A senior military source said a group of officers "were involved in the attempt but were immediately suspended."&nbsp;

Traffic appeared to be flowing smoothly in central Khartoum on Tuesday, including around army headquarters, where months of mass protests prompted the ouster of veteran president Omar al-Bashir&nbsp;in a palace coup two years ago.&nbsp;

Sudanese security forces did however close the main bridge across the Nile connecting Khartoum to its twin city Omdurman.&nbsp;

Sudan&nbsp;is currently ruled by a transitional government composed of both civilian and military representatives that was installed in the aftermath of Bashir's April 2019 overthrow and is tasked with overseeing a return to full civilian rule.&nbsp;

Deep political divisions and chronic economic problems inherited from the Bashir regime have overshadowed the fragile transition.&nbsp;

In recent months, the government has undertaken a series of tough economic reforms to qualify for &nbsp;debt relief from the International Monetary Fund.&nbsp;

The steps, which included slashing subsidies and a managed float of the Sudanese pound, were seen by many Sudanese as too harsh.&nbsp;

Sporadic protests have broken out against the IMF-backed reforms and the rising cost of living.

Sudan state media report 'failed' coup attempt

A military unit tried to seize the presidential palace in Niger's capital Niamey overnight in an attempted coup but order has been restored, the government said on Wednesday, days before the country's first democratic handover of power.&nbsp;

The assailants, from a nearby air base, fled after the presidential guard met their attack with heavy shelling and gunfire, three security sources said, requesting anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to media.&nbsp;

Government spokesman Abdourahamane Zakaria said several people had been arrested while others were still being sought, but that the situation was under control.&nbsp;

"The government condemns this cowardly and retrogressive act that aims to endanger democracy and the rule of law to which our country is resolutely committed," he told a news conference.&nbsp;

Assuring people, they could go about their daily lives, he said, "The government congratulates the presidential guard and the other defence and security forces for their prompt reaction, a testament of their loyalty to the republic." He did not take questions.&nbsp;

President Mahamadou Issoufou is stepping down after two five-year terms and president-elect Mohamed Bazoum, the ruling party candidate, is due to be sworn in on Friday after an election victory disputed by his opponent Mahamane Ousmane.&nbsp;

Former US Sahel envoy J Peter Pham earlier tweeted that both the president and president-elect were safe, and the president's office shared photos on Twitter of Issoufou presiding over the swearing-in ceremony for two top judges.&nbsp;

Ousmane's whereabouts were not known.&nbsp;

There have been growing attacks by Islamist militants as well as protests in the country following Bazoum's victory in a February presidential election runoff. Ousmane, a former president who lost that contest, has rejected the results and said there was fraud.&nbsp;

In pockets of the capital on Wednesday, Ousmane supporters took to the streets for a scheduled protest and clashed with police, who fired teargas to disperse them, according to witnesses, who also said roads out of the city had been closed.&nbsp;
