In Sudan, at least 10 people were killed when soldiers opened fire on pro democracy protestors, who oppose military rule. Meanwhile, the World Bank, yesterday suspended its aid to Sudan following the military coup in the country. Political leaders, including the Prime Minister were arrested on Monday, sparking nationwide protests and international condemnation.
 
World Bank President David Malpass, said in a statement that he is greatly concerned by recent events in Sudan, and feared the impact it can have on the country's social and economic recovery. In March, Sudan was



able to access billions of dollars in grants from the World Bank for the first time in nearly 30 years, after it cleared its arrears.
 
The African Union (AU) has also suspended Sudan from the bloc over the "unconstitutional" seizure of power. United States has frozen 700m dollar in aid. Sudan's civilian and military leaders had been in a fragile power-sharing agreement for the past two years. The World Bank and AU moves put further pressure on the coup's leader, General Abdel Fattah Burhan, to reinstate the civilian government.
