Hemedti explained, during a meeting with police officers, that the measures taken last October 25 came to correct the course of the December revolution that toppled the regime of Omar al-Bashir.
The Vice-President of the Sovereignty Council announced the granting of a month’s salary to all police employees, in appreciation of their efforts in maintaining security and stability in the country.
Hemedti’s statements come a day after the signing of a political agreement in Sudan to restore Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok to his position, reversing measures announced by the army in late October.
On October 25, the commander of the Sudanese army, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, announced the dissolution of the government and the Sovereignty Council and the imposition of a state of emergency in the country, which was rejected internally and externally.
On Sunday, the Sudanese authorities began releasing political detainees after signing the political agreement, which stressed the need to expedite the completion of all transitional government institutions.
After the signing, the Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council said: “We have been living in a crisis for a long time, and today, by signing this political agreement, we were able to establish a real transitional period as we envisioned it and as the Sudanese people imagined it at the beginning of their transformation or at the beginning of the uprising that occurred in April 2019”. .
For his part, Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok said: “Let us unite as Sudanese and look at the nation’s interest. I will not hope to repeat a saying, let us agree on how Sudan is governed and leave the choice of who governs Sudan to this great people.”
The agreement that restored Hamdok to the presidency of the government granted him the full right to form a government of non-partisan competencies, provided that the Sovereignty Council satisfied its civilian and military members with a supervisory role without interfering in the work of the executive authority.
