Khartoum (Reuters) - Former Sudanese officials Khalid Omer Yousif and Wagdi Salih have been arrested, their Forces of Freedom and Change coalition said in a statement on Wednesday.

Both have been outspoken in their opposition to an Oct. 25 military coup that ended a power-sharing deal with the coalition, and had previously been involved in a taskforce that seized property and fired bureaucrats linked to the regime of Omar al-Bashir, who fell to a popular uprising in 2019.
