Sudan Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok announced his resignation on state television.
Two months after the coup d'état followed by a repression that resulted in dozens of deaths, Hamdok, who leads the civilian front of the transition in the country, addressed the nation as follows: "I did my best to prevent the country from sliding towards the disaster (...) but given the fragmentation of the political forces and the conflicts between the civilian and military components of the transition (...) and despite everything that was done to reach a consensus (...) this did not happen ".
Sudan, he added, "is at a dangerous turning point, which puts its very survival at risk".
Today on the streets of Khartoum the security forces fired tear gas at thousands of people who were heading towards the presidential palace to protest once again against the coup, challenging an armored city and the blockade of telecommunications mobilized by the slogan "2022 is l 'year in which the resistance continues ". And on the road there have been other deaths, at least two.
Since the coup d'etat by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane last October 25, 56 demonstrators have been killed in the repression and hundreds injured, a union of pro-democracy doctors said.
