Sudanese government forces retake all intelligence buildings in capital
Sudanese government forces managed late on Tuesday
to retake all intelligence buildings in capital held by security agents in
revolt, a military source said.
The security agents surrendered after negotiations
with their leaders, the source said. They had opened fire to protest against
their severance packages.
The former employees of the National Intelligence
and Security Service (NISS) had also shut two small oilfields in Darfur in
protest about their severance packages, a government source told Reuters. They
had an output of around 5,000 barrels a day.
Restructuring the once feared security apparatus
blamed for suppressing dissent under Bashir was among the key demands of the
uprising that forced his removal in April after 30 years in power.
