Almost a month after the military coup in Sudan, an agreement was reached for the return of Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok to his post and the release of civilian officials. A group of Sudanese mediators, including journalists, academics and politicians issued a statement on Sunday (November 21) detailing the main points of the agreement.
On October 25, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhane, head of the army, reshuffled the cards for a shaky political transition in Sudan, arresting almost all civilians in power and declaring the state. emergency. He notably detained and then placed under house arrest in Khartoum Abdallah Hamdok. The latter headed the transitional government installed alongside the military after the fall in 2019 of the regime of General Omar El-Bashir in 2019, dismissed by the army under pressure from the street.
Since the coup, protests against the army and calling for the return of civil power have taken place, mainly in Khartoum. The crackdown on protests against the army has left 40 people dead and hundreds injured since the October 25 coup, according to a pro-democracy doctors’ union. The international community denounced this violence and called for a return of civil power.
This agreement was reached after weeks of mediation. It was signed before another day of demonstrations, which raised fears of a new muscular intervention by the security forces. However, the date of the start of application of this agreement was not immediately known.
