Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has resigned just six weeks after his reinstatement by the military regime. He tendered in his resignation in a televised address to the citizens on Sunday, January 2nd, 2022.

Recall that, Sudan’s top general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan earlier dissolved the country’s sovereign council and followed up with the arrest of the top politicians including Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.

The Prime Minister was later reinstated by the General. However, Sudanese have been hitting the streets in protest against both the coup and the reinstatement deal with Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok of which they suspect foul play.

Following the massive protests, the prime minister has taken a bow out of his position, stating that, he has tried his best and would like to hand over to another person to continue.

“I have decided to return your trust to you and announce my resignation from the position of Prime Minister to make way for another one of the sons of this generous country to complete the leadership of the dear homeland and pass through it during the remaining life of the transition towards the reviving civil, democratic state,” Hamdok said.

In the first installment of the Two Shores Dialogue series, two journalists — Ma Jiaying from China and Héribert Adjovi from Africa — exchange insights on the pressing issues of our time: rising trade protectionism, the shifting global order, and the long-term consequences of tariff wars. Reflecting on the legacy of the Bandung Conference, they advocate for renewed solidarity among the Global South, grounded in the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. A powerful, thoughtful dialogue that bridges continents and visions.
