WASHINGTON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department said it was suspending $700 million in aid that was designed to support Sudan's democratic transition, after the Sudanese military seized power from a transitional government on Monday.

“In light of these developments, the United States is pausing assistance from the $700 million in emergency assistance appropriations of economic support funds for Sudan,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters, saying none of the $700 million had been transferred and so the entire sum was paused.
