KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudanese authorities released Al Jazeera television’s Khartoum bureau chief on Tuesday, the Qatar-based network said, two days after security forces arrested him from his home. Kabbashi, a Sudanese citizen, “was released on Tuesday… the military has yet to give a reason for his detention,” the network said. Late Monday, Al Jazeera reported that Kabbashi had been taken to prison despite a prosecutor’s order for his release. The internet has remained largely cut in Sudan despite a court order last week to restore services. The army’s power grab has derailed a transition to full civilian rule, sparked international condemnation and provoked regular protests.
