Sudanese PM Hamdok Resigns Just Weeks After Being Reinstated In A Deal With The Military

 

BBC: Sudan coup: Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigns after mass protests 

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has announced his resignation just weeks after he was reinstated in a controversial deal with the military. 

The army seized power in October and put Mr Hamdok under house arrest but he was reinstated the next month after signing a power-sharing deal with the coup's leader. 

Protesters rejected the deal, demanding an entirely civilian political rule. Mr Hamdok said Sudan was now at a "dangerous turning point". 

He said he had tried his best to stop the country from "sliding towards disaster", but that "despite everything that has been done to reach a consensus... it has not happened".
