PM Abdalla Hamdok escorted back home

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has been returned to his home a day after the country's military enacted a coup and dissolved the government.

"The prime minister... has been accompanied back to his own home in Kafouri district and security measures have been put in place around the perimeter of his home," a military source, who requested anonymity, told AFP.

Coup leader and army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had earlier on Tuesday said that Hamdok was "at my home... [and] in good health". 

A number of countries and international institutions, including the US and the United Nations, have called for the release of the deposed premier.
