Bashir, 75, had been detained under heavy guard in the presidential residence inside the compound that also houses the Defence Ministry, before being shunted to Kobar prison late on Tuesday, the family sources said.

Abdel Fattahal-Burhan, who has engaged in impromptu dialogue with protesters in the streets of the capital, now heads the council and has promised to hold elections within two years. Bashir ruled Sudan with an iron hand for 30 years after seizing power in an Islamist-backed military coup.
