The Prime Minister of Sudan Abdallah Hamdok, in residence under the coup of October 25, said Sunday, October 31, that “the way to an exit of crisis” passed through the return to the affairs of his firm. According to a statement released on Facebook, the leader of the deposed government also claimed the liberation of civilian leaders during a meeting with American, British and Norwegian ambassadors at the “Troika” to the maneuver in Sudan.
The civilian managers arrested during the Putsch of General Abdel Fattah Al-Bourhane are always not found, said their lawyer Kamal al-Jizouli at AFP, asking that “be made public the place where ministers and politicians are detained”.
“Grotesque act”
Withheld a time in the new strong man in the country before being finally brought back home, where he is under “close surveillance”, Abdallah Hamdok has been expressed since Monday via press releases that are published on the Ministry’s Facebook page of information got into dissent.
The former UN economist, who embodied the civilian face of the difficult transition of Sudan to democracy after thirty years of dictatorship of Omar Al-Bachir, was able to meet diplomats since his arrest. He also spoke on the phone with the leader of American diplomacy, Antony Blinken, but has so far not allowed to receive his rare ministers who were not arrested.
In recent days, General Al-Bourhane said he did not see any disadvantage that Mr. Hamdok finally retains his post and promised a government “within one week”, according to an interview at the Russian press published Monday. But Mariam Sadeq al-Mahdi, Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs always at liberty, said Saturday to AFP that neither she nor the Prime Minister will agree to “participate in this grotesque act, this betrayal led by the putschists”.
UN emissary in Sudan, Volker Perthes, met Sunday Abdallah Hamdok and evoked possible “mediations” to take out the country of impasse. The American emissary for the Horn of Africa must also come back Tuesday in Khartoum, according to the Ministry of Information.
The country, stuck in the political and economic marassence for decades, is now at the judgment between uncompromising military and anti-putsch protesters in “civil disobedience”.
