Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok announced his resignation in a televised speech on Sunday.
“In view of the fragmentation of the political forces and conflicts between the military and civilian components of the transition… despite everything which has been done to reach a consensus… it has not happened”, he said.
“Sudan is going through a dangerous turning point which threatens its whole survival”, he added.
The country has been plunged into turmoil, since military leader de facto leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan launched a military takeover on 25 October and detained Hamdok.
The PM was reinstated on 21 November. However, mass protests have continued since his release. Demonstrators voiced their distrust in veteran general Burhan and his promises of seeking to guide the country towards full democracy.
“Activists maintained protests for over two months long campaign against the army’s takeover. The crackdown that killed at least 53 people and wounded hundreds”, said the pro-democracy Doctors’ Committee group.
Demonstrators demand justice for the dozens killed since the coup and the over 250 people killed during mass protests of 2019 which paved the way for the toppling of Bashir.
