Al-Burhan said, during an interview with senior officers, on Monday, that the procedures and appointments that took place after the agreement he signed with Hamdok on the twenty-first of last November, were coordinated between them.
Thousands of protesters arrived at noon on Sunday in the vicinity of the presidential palace in central Khartoum, but security forces dispersed them by force, killing at least one protester and wounding more than 200.
The protesters raised slogans calling for civilian rule and accountability for those responsible for the killing of hundreds of supporters of the democratic transition in the country.

political deadlock
In light of a political stalemate caused by the street’s adherence to its positions demanding the removal of the army from the political scene, and the faltering efforts of Abdullah Hamdouk to form a technocratic government; Large sectors of the Sudanese street are responding to the continuous calls for demonstrations launched by the gathering of professionals and the resistance committees.
The protesters in the street denounce the Hamdok and Al-Burhan agreement, demanding accountability for those who caused the deaths of hundreds of young people who were shot by the security forces since the overthrow of the ousted regime of Bashir on April 11, 2019.
This comes as international parties stress the need to end the measures taken by the army on the twenty-fifth of October, which were considered steps aimed at blocking the path to the democratic transition process in the country.
Expressing the stalemate, the Sudanese Prime Minister announced the failure of the agreement signed with Al-Burhan and all the initiatives that he put forward, during the recent period due to “healing behind the different positions and visions of the different forces.”
Since Al-Burhan declared on the twenty-fifth of October a state of emergency in the country and the dissolution of the Sovereignty Council and the Ministers, Sudan has witnessed political turmoil and a large protest movement that led to the killing of 45 demonstrators.
After signing a political declaration with Al-Burhan on the twenty-first of November, Hamdok was subjected to great pressure from the Sudanese street.
The protesters raised slogans confirming their determination to continue their protests until full civilian rule was reached, those who killed the protesters held accountable, the Sudanese army united and its tasks were limited to protecting the country’s lands and its constitution.
