US reaction to Sudanese PM’s resignation



“After the resignation of Prime Minister Hamdouk, Sudanese leaders must put aside their differences, reach a consensus and ensure the continuation of civilian rule,” the US State Department’s Africa office wrote on Twitter on Monday, according to IRNA.
Sudan’s next prime minister and cabinet must be appointed in accordance with the constitution to achieve the people’s goals of freedom, peace and justice, the State Department said.
The State Department says violence against protesters must end.
According to IRNA from Al-Jazeera, “Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk” announced his resignation in a speech on Sunday night and said: “I tried as much as I could to keep the country from the danger of falling into disaster.”
Regarding the crisis in the country, the resigned Prime Minister of Sudan said: “The key word to solve the problem that has been going on for about 6 decades in Sudan is dialogue and negotiation.”

He added: “Resolving the political crisis will only be possible through dialogue at a table where all parties are present.”
Hamdouk also defended his government and continued that we had many successes and we were not successful in some areas.
Hamdouk returned to power on November 21 after a coup a month earlier by the Sudanese army and the end of a transitional partnership with political parties.
Sudan has been witnessing protests since October 25 over the rejection of exceptional measures by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, chairman of the ruling council and commander of the army, which include the declaration of a state of emergency, the dissolution of governing councils and the transition. Sudanese political parties have called the ouster of Prime Minister Hamdouk and the arrest of Sudanese leaders and officials by the military a “military coup”.
On November 21, Al-Burhan and Hamdouk signed a political agreement that includes the return of the prime minister to his post, the formation of a technocratic government, and the release of political prisoners. The two sides pledged to work together to complete the democratic path. Political and civil parties, meanwhile, voiced opposition to the agreement, calling it an “attempt to legitimize the coup” and vowing to continue the protests until full civilian rule.
