 A Sudanese rebel leader who returned from exile after the overthrow of president Omar Al Bashir was arrested on Wednesday, his organisation said.

 Yassir Arman, the deputy head of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) group, came back last month and joined other opposition groups meeting the military leaders who ousted Bashir, according to local media reports.

But those talks ground to a halt, then fell apart all together after security forces raided a protest camp in central Khartoum on Monday.

 Arman was detained by security services at his house in Khartoum, a spokesman for his group said, without giving any details on the reasons.
