On 11 April, the Sudanese military removed Omar al-Bashir from his position as President of Sudan, dissolved the cabinet and the National Legislature, and announced a three-month state of emergency, to be followed by a two-year transition period.

Lt. Gen. Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf, who was both the defense minister of Sudan and the Vice President of Sudan, declared himself the de facto Head of State, announced the suspension of the country's constitution, and imposed a curfew from 10 pm to 4 am, effectively ordering the dissolution of the ongoing protests.

Along with the National Legislature and national government, state governments and legislative councils in Sudan were dissolved as well.

After the military coup, the United Nations released a statement urging the new government not to use violence against peaceful protestors. (ILKHA)
