Sudan’s civilian prime-minister, Abdalla Hamdok, has resigned on Sunday following political deadlock and mass protests. The announcement of the resignation came in a televised speech on Sunday evening.
Hamdok admitted that his efforts to bridge the widening gap between political forces had failed and called for further political dialogue. Hamdok warned that the ongoing political stalemate since the military takeover, could become a full-blown crisis, if not resolved in time. That could further batter the economy, which was passing through a critical phase. The country, he said, was going through a dangerous turning point that might threaten its entire survival if it was not remedied soon.
Sudanese security forces violently dispersed pro-democracy protesters, killing at least three people, according to the Sudan Doctors Committee. The Doctors Committee is a part of the pro-democracy movement.
