We are in a bad situation these days,\u201d one of the South Sudanese citizens living in Khartoum said.<br \/>\n\u201cPeople are just walking on the streets waiting for the army to announce. Most of the people are currently heading to the army barracks and no one knows what is happening,\u201d another person told Eye Radio.<br \/>\n\u201cThey are demonstrating and they have closed the streets, but no one can do what is happening.<br \/>\n\u201cThe security situation in the neighborhoods is normal and calm, there are no clashes. Most people are on the streets and there is a heavy security presence.\u201d<br \/>\nObservers say Sudan has been on edge since a failed coup plot last month unleashed recriminations between military and civilian groups sharing power uneasily following the toppling of long-serving ruler Omar al-Bashir two years ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
