Sudan Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigns

The Prime Minister of Sudan Abdalla Hamdok has announced his resignation on January 02, 2022. Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said he was resigning, six weeks after returning to his post in a deal with military coup leaders he argued could save a transition toward democracy.

The decision follows a military coup that caused political deadlock and widespread pro-democracy protests in the country. The 66-year-old Hamdok served as the 15th Prime Minister of Sudan from 2019 to 2022.
