General Intelligence Service (Sudan)

[6][4] During the Omar al-Bashir presidency, the National Intelligence and Security Service was an incredibly powerful body.

It was granted extensive powers by the National Security Acts of 1999 and 2010 such as the ability of to repossess livestock and was frequently referred to as a secret police organization.

[11] On 13 April 2019 during the 2019 Sudanese coup d'état, Gosh, who was reappointed NISS Director in 2018 and was a controversial figure,[12] was sacked as head of the agency after Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan, the head of the newly created Transitional Military Council (TMC) accepted his resignation.

[6][4][3] Government security forces regained control of the rebelling former NISS employees within several hours.

The Washington Post interpreted the incident as "probably a haphazard show of anger by frustrated corps members who are now out of a job, rather than an attempt to overthrow the regime.
