The 2012 Sudanese coup attempt was a coup d'état attempt on 22 November 2012 in Sudan against president Omar al-Bashir, who took power in the 1989 Sudanese coup d'état. It started as an attempt to overthrow the government over serious conflicts, upheavals (mainly the 2011–2013 Sudanese protests) and worsening conditions. According to the media, 13 were arrested during the coup attempt,[1][2] including Salah Gosh.[3]
