WHAT HAPPENED?
On October 25, last year, Prime Minister Abdullah Hamduk and other civilian government officials, including at least 4 ministers, were detained in Sudan. The President of the Sovereignty Council and the commander of the army, Abdülfettah al-Burhan, later declared a state of emergency and announced that he had abolished the civil administration. Prime Minister Hamduk was released on the condition that he be placed under house arrest the next day. The President of the Sovereignty Council, al-Burhan, announced the re-establishment of the Sovereignty Council with the decree published on 11 November. After the coup, the people revolted and demonstrations broke out. On November 21, al-Burhan and Hamduk reached an agreement and it was decided that Hamduk would take office as prime minister again, and Hamduk announced his resignation on January 3, about 2 months after he took office. The state of emergency in the country, which has been going on for 7 months, was lifted on May 29.
