The World Bank has suspended its aid to Sudan, after the military there staged a coup against the civilian government.
Political leaders were arrested on Monday, sparking nationwide protests and international condemnation.
The African Union (AU) has also suspended Sudan from the bloc over the “unconstitutional” seizure of power. The US has frozen $700m (£508m) in aid.
Sudan’s civilian and military leaders had been in a fragile power-sharing agreement for the past two years.
