Sudan’s prime minister, who was ousted in a military coup but reinstated over a month ago, said Sunday that he was resigning. Abdalla Hamdok’s decision is the latest disruption to the country’s shaky transition to democracy from dictatorship.
He also warned that the ongoing political stalemate since the military takeover could become a full-blown crisis and damage the country’s already battered economy.
“I tried as much as I possibly could to prevent our country from sliding into a disaster. Now, our nation is going through a dangerous turning point that could threaten its survival unless it is urgently rectified.
“I decided to give back the responsibility and announce my resignation as prime minister, and give a chance to another man or woman of this noble country to … help it pass through what’s left of the transitional period to a civilian democratic country,” Hamdok said.
A fire broke out yesterday night at one of Sudan’s largest refugee camps, Um Rakuba, destroying more than 93 makeshift homes & leaving more than 250 households homeless.
This isn’t the first time flames tore through the camp. On October 19th and December 11th of last year, the same blaze had destroyed this particular refugee camp exposing more than 200 households to multifaceted problems.
Others have described the situation in Sudan as a catastrophe that needs urgent attention, “Sudan was one of the first countries in Africa to gain independence and now look at Sudan today. It’s actually so sad, that a country with this much potential is suffering this much, just because a number of individuals love being in power more than seeing their country prosper.” Said Marek Muez.
Commenting on the same issue Cameroon Political Analyst, Dr Chinson said, “Western democracy is struggling in most of the world. Our African intellectuals should look for a system that can work well with our people. Something that can bring peace, stability and greatness to our continent. Lives might be lost in Sudan following this resignation.”
