AFTER MASS PROTESTS, SUDAN'S PRIME MINISTER RESIGNS

  • 03/01/2022

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has resigned following a second day of mass protests in the capital, Khartoum. Thousands marched against a recent agreement he reached with the army, which staged a coup in October, to share power. Protesters chanted "power to the people" and demanded a return to full civilian rule. Military forces, on the other hand, retaliated with force, killing two people. The army now has complete control as a result of Mr Hamdok's decision to resign. It's yet another setback for Sudan's fragile attempts to transition to democracy, which began in 2019 with the overthrow of Sudan's long-time authoritarian President Omar al-Bashir by a popular uprising.
