Sudan army chief ousts government in coup
Sudanese army commander in chief Gen Ibrahim Abboud seized power in a coup d etat, dissolving all political parties and banning demonstrations. He pledged to improve relations with the United Arab Republic led by President Nasser as Khartoum and Cairo seek Nile water and border settlements. The move toppled Prime Minister Abdullah Khalil, whose pro-West regime faced years of conflict with Nasserism and parliamentary tensions since independence in 1956. Abboud accuses political leaders of corruption hampering government, while promising stability and regional ties.
