Omar al-Bashir was ousted by the army on Thursday, brought down by months of anti-government protests against his decades of iron-fisted rule of almost 30 years.
KHARTOUM - The Sudanese army has declared a state of emergency and has implemented a nationwide curfew after the ouster of President Omar al-Bashir.
"The National Intelligence and Security Service has announced it is releasing all political detainees across the country," the official Suna news agency said. But in the eastern cities of Kasala and Port Sudan, protesters stormed NISS buildings after the releases failed to materialise, witnesses said.
"But NISS officers fired in the air after which protesters stormed the building and looted all the equipment inside," he said.
