Sudanese PM resigns as a result of mass unrest

Former UN envoy Abdalla Hamdok, who was seen as the face of Sudan’s transitional government, in November was restored as Prime Minister. It was part of an agreement with the military after the October coup, according to the Associated Press.

On Sunday, he announced his resignation, explaining that his resignation would allow another person to lead the nation and complete the transition to a civilian, democratic state.

An agreement with the military could, in Hamdock’s view, save the transition to democracy.

The BBC reportsthat thousands of people took to the streets in protest of the agreement between the prime minister and the country’s military power over the division of power. Residents demanded the full return of civil law.

Abdalla Hamdok’s decision to step down leaves the army in full control of Sudan. As he himself has said, the country is at a dangerous turning point that threatens its survival.

Hamdok also claimed that despite everything that has been done to gain majority support, this has not happened.

The Prime Minister of Sudan made the statement came up after thatSudan’s Central Medical Committee (SCDC) reported that three protesters had been killed during Sudanese security forces’ coup protests.

In his speech, he praised the Sudanese people’s persistence in demanding freedom and justice during the protests. He also added that the people will definitely have a better future because they have a revolutionary enthusiasm.
