CAIRO (U.P.) - Another Middle Eastern Parliamentary democracy went into eclipse today when army Commander Gen. Ibrahim Abboud seized power in a military coup in Sudan.
The coup unseated the pro-Western government of Premier Abdullah Khalil
The government radio in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, broadcast a declaration in the name of Abboud promising to do his best to achieve good relations with President Nasser's United Arab Republic.
British sources in London saw Abboud's coup as an army bid to stall a political reconciliation with the U.A.R. They said the news, which was reported to the government by the British mission at Khartoum, was no surprise.
Abboud also ordered immediate dissolution of all political parties, supervision of all newspapers, and prohibition of any demonstration or political meetings.
