Coup in Sudan
Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok of Sudan has been placed under arrest by the military. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has broken up the transitional government. A state of emergency has been declared across the country. Hamdok’s location is unknown.
“The military has also blocked all roads and bridges leading into Khartoum city. We’ve seen soldiers blocking access and they are telling us these are the orders they got. They are saying access to Khartoum city is to be restricted, and this is raising concern because that’s where the government institutions are, that’s where the presidential palace and the prime minister’s offices are located.” -Hiba Morgan, Al-Jazeera.

President Biden has indicated $700 million in aid will be immediately frozen.
US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken issued the following statement.
“We firmly reject the dissolution of the civilian-led transitional government and its associated institutions and call for their immediate restoration. The arrest of Prime Minister Hamdok and other civilian leaders is unacceptable. The military forces must ensure their safety and release them immediately. These actions have the potential to derail the country’s transition to democracy and are a betrayal of Sudan’s peaceful revolution.”
“We are gravely concerned by reports that Sudanese security forces have used live ammunition against peaceful protesters. Security officials should immediately cease the use of violence against peaceful protesters. We also urge the restoration of Internet services.” -US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken

Ezekiel states Russia, Turkey, Iran and allies are prophesied to invade Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). Arguably, Sudan may join Magog (modern day Russia) in their invasion of Israel at some point in the future.
