UN Security Council calls for civilian-led government to return

The UN Security Council called on Sudan's military to allow for the return of the civilian-led government after a coup deposed the country's Prime Minister. 

In a statement released on Thursday, the UN Security Council said it had "deep concerns" over the military's seizure of power in the country. 

The unanimous statement follows widespread international condemnation and the African Union's decision to suspend Sudan's membership in the pan-African organisation.
