BBC: Sudan failed coup: Government blames pro-Bashir elements
Sudan says that "forces of darkness" linked to the ousted President Omar al-Bashir were behind Tuesday's failed coup attempt.
"Remnants from the previous regime" were "intent on aborting the civilian democratic transition", said Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok in a separate message.
He described it as an "orchestrated coup attempt".
Bashir, who had been in power for three decades, was toppled two years ago.
The current administration - involving the military, civilian representatives and protest groups - was then established as part of a power-sharing agreement.
Reuters news agency quotes the Sudanese military as saying 21 officers and a number of soldiers had been detained in connection with the failed putsch, and are continuing to search for the rest of the culprits.
