Sudan’s Premier Quits Amid Deadly Protests Against Military Rule

Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigned, saying that attempts to share power between the military and civilians had failed as deadly protests continued to rage against October’s coup.

Without nationwide consensus on the way forward, the North African country risks sliding into chaos, Hamdok said late Sunday in a televised address. His resignation, which had been expected for more than a week, leaves Sudan’s transitional government almost entirely in the hands of the military.
