“I announce my resignation from the post of prime minister, leaving this place for the sons and daughters of my homeland so that they continue to rule the dear country towards a civil, democratic state,” he said in a video message.
In a statement, he stressed that a round table was needed to reach a new agreement on Sudan’s political transition to democracy.
Abdallah Hamdok announced his resignation less than two months after he was reinstated as part of a political agreement with the military. The head of the Sudanese Sovereign Council, General Abdel Fatah al-Burkhan, and Hamdok signed a political agreement on November 21.
On October 25, Hamdok was detained by the military. General Fattah al-Burhan addressed the nation, declaring that he was dissolving the Sudanese government, while declaring a state of emergency in the country.
Following a military coup in April 2019, President Omar al-Bashir, who had been in office for more than 30 years, was ousted from power. The coup came amid protests that swept across the country. The protesters demanded that al-Bashir’s government cut prices, as well as solve the problem with power outages.
