Anti-Coup Groups Denounce Deal Between Military Junta and Former PM
[SPUTNIKNEWS] Amid serious public pressure, Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has sought to justify his deal with the military, telling Saudi-backed Al Arabiya network in a Tuesday interview that he entered into the "political agreement" in hopes of "sparing the blood of the Sudanese and preserving the [economic] gains made."Hamdok was returned to his previous post Sunday following nearly a month spent under house arrest after Sudanese army chief Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan deposed the civilian government in a dramatic coup d’etat on Oct. 25.Proponents of civilian rule were quick to denounce the 14-point agreement, and prominent activist groups, such as Forces for Freedom and Change and the Sudanese Professionals Association, have pledged to continue mobilizing until full civilian rule is restored. Huge crowds of Sudanese demonstrators erupted into the streets of Khartoum Sunday immediately after the deal was announced to condemn the arrangement. Posted by: Fred 2021-11-25 |
