Khartoum - Sana
Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok announced his resignation today, stressing that the solution in the country is based on an inclusive dialogue.
Hamdok said in a speech to the Sudanese people, broadcast by Sudan TV today, that the solution to the crisis in the country will not be unless all parties sit at the negotiating table, noting that the crisis is primarily political and includes economic and social aspects, but it is on the way to becoming a comprehensive crisis.
Hamdok added, "I tried as much as I could to avoid my country's regression towards disaster, and during the past days I met with all the components of the transitional period, but we are currently going through a dangerous turning point that threatens the survival of Sudan as a whole."
Hamdok indicated that the conflict between the two ruling partners in Sudan was reflected in the performance and effectiveness of the state at various levels, pointing out that the country's biggest problem is the structure between the civil and military components.
Sudan is witnessing a political crisis that began on the 25th of last October, after the head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant-General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, announced the dismissal of Hamdok’s government, the declaration of a state of emergency in the country, and the formation of a new Sovereign Council from which many members representing political and party forces were excluded.
After about a month, the two parties signed an agreement in an attempt to end the political crisis, stipulating the return of Hamdok to form a civilian government of independent national competencies, and that the Transitional Sovereignty Council would be supervising the implementation of the tasks of the transitional period contained in Article 8 of the Constitutional Document without direct interference in the executive work, with an emphasis on ensuring the transition of The transitional authority will be on schedule at the end of the transitional period in July 2023.
