Sudan’s military rulers have arrested two brothers of deposed President, OMAR AL-BASHIR, as hundreds of people marched in the capital, Khartoum, calling for a swift handover of power to civilian leadership.

Spokesman for the transitional military council, SHAMS AL-DIN KABASHI said that ABDULLAH AL-BASHIR and ALABAS AL-BASHIR were taken into custody as part of a continuing campaign of arrests against “symbols and leaders of the previous regime”.

The announcement came as sources said Sudanese authorities have transferred AL-BASHIR from “house-arrest” to the Kobar prison in northern Khartoum.
