The news coincided with the arrest of the chairman of the Umma Party Al-Sadeq Al-Mahdi after the security service sued him due to his statement on the Rapid Support Forces.

Khartoum Newspapers said on Monday that the director of the Sudanese Security and Intelligence Service Mohamed Atta has ordered reemployment of three brigades of the Rapid Support Forces around Khartoum to protect it..
Head of the Information Department in the Security said that Khartoum is completely protected and that the news on a coup or threats against stability and security of the capital are unfounded.
