BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Leader of the Sudanese armed forces General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan disclosed the location of detained Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok a day after the latter's arrest and the dissolution of the government in the Arab country.

Officials in al-Burhan's office said earlier today that he would hold a news conference on Tuesday. During said conference, the high-ranking military official said Prime Minister Hamdok was at his home - not abducted. Al-Burhan assured that Hamdok would return home either today or tomorrow: "As soon as the present threats are gone," he said.

The military leader alleged that Hamdok was unable to work freely, for he was "politically restrained."

"We arrested figures and ministers, but not all of them," al-Burhan added, citing that some of them could affect national unity and national security.

"The detainees facing criminal charges will remain under arrest while the rest of the detainees will be released," the leader announced. He also claimed that a Sovereign Council and government would be formed with the participation of all the states, with one minister chosen from each state.

Al-Burhan rejected labeling the incidents a 'coup': "Condemnations are expected, for there are countries that see our movements as a coup; however, they are not so. We did not stage a coup. We are trying to correct the transitional path," he asserted.

Hamdok says National Congress Party behind incidents

The party behind the latest military actions is the National Congress Party, which ruled the country under Omar al-Bashir, the Prime Minister's office in Khartoum said Tuesday.

The office said the armed forces were the facade of the coalition in the process of formation - which it said has the goal of 'finishing off' the revolution and the state - while in reality, political figures and militias are leading it. 

The prime minister's office stressed that PM Hamdok was the popularly and internationally legitimate executive authority, and there is no alternative other than civil disobedience.
