Sudan’s ousted Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has been reinstated following last month’s coup when he was put under house arrest. He has appeared on Television to sign a new power-sharing agreement with coup leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan amid continuing mass protests.
The civilian coalition that nominated Hamdok as Prime Minister two years ago has refused to acknowledge any new deal. On the streets of capital, Khartoum, the security forces fired tear gas at protesters marching towards the presidential palace and demanding the military’s complete withdrawal from politics.
