A former member of Sudan's dissolved transitional council, Mohamed Al-Faki Suleiman, has been arrested, a family source said on Sunday.
His arrest follows the detention of two other prominent politicians, Wagdi Salih and Khalid Omer Yousif, last week.
All three men were part of a power-sharing arrangement between civilians and military men set up after the overthrow of long-ruling autocrat Omar al-Bashir in April 2019.

The military dismissed the body, known as the Sovereign Council, in a coup last October. The three men, who were held in detention for about one month after the coup, had engaged in a war of words with military leaders prior to the takeover.
Yousif, Salih, and Suleiman were also part of a task force working to dismantle Bashir's political and financial network.
The public prosecutor's office could not be reached for comment on the latest arrest.
