| [SUDANTRIBUNE] Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok received on Tuesday calls from a number of Arab and international leaders requesting him to not resign from his position. A month after an agreement with the Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese army Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on November 21, Hamdok failed to form a government of technocrats and to bring the political forces to sign a new political declaration. Also, multiple sources said that the prime minister recently informed al-Burhan of his decision to leave his job and informed his office members to prepare for the handover. The Saudi Press Agency reported that Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud spoke with al-Burhan and Hamdok on Tuesday. During his separate calls, al-Saud stressed the Kingdom’s keenness on Sudan’s stability and called for the formation of a new government as soon as possible. He further called for an "Agreement between the military and civilian components for the benefit of Sudan and its brotherly people," according to the official agency. However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... sources close to the calls said al-Saud called appealed to Hamdok to reverse his decision and requested al-Burhan to reconsider his position and make the necessary concessions to get the country out of the current crisis. Hamdok also received calls from the UN Secretary-General, the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... and the U.S. Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa. The officials discussed with the Sudanese prime minister the need to reconsider his decision and work for a genuine solution for the crisis. The African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... , which has suspended Sudan’s membership immediately after the coup, announced last November that a delegation from the Peace And Security Council would hold discussions with the parties to the constitutional declaration of August 17, 2019, to re-establish the civilian-military partnership. |
