Last month, a military coup took place in the African country of Sudan and the military seized power by ousting Abdullah Hamdok. Sudanese military officials and leaders have now agreed to reinstate Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdouk as prime minister. Outraged by this, the opposition has taken to the streets accusing it of a secret deal.

Army and government officials say government officials and leaders arrested after the October 25 military coup will also be released under an agreement reached between the military and political forces.

Security forces fired tear gas shells at protesters marching on the Rashtrapati Bhavan on the streets of the capital, Khartoum, after a military coup. The protesters were demanding a complete withdrawal from military politics. At least 40 people have been killed in mass protests against the coup since October 25, when the army declared a state of emergency and disbanded civilian leadership.

According to Abdullah Hamdok, they have agreed to an agreement to stop the violence. The blood of every Sudanese is precious, let us stop the bloodshed and use the energy of the youth in construction and development work. Abdullah Hamdock will be the head of an independent technocratic cabinet until elections are held. However, it is not clear how much power the government will have. He will still be under military monitoring.

According to Hamdok, the deal gives him complete freedom to form his own government and hold elections before July 2023. It also allows for the release of political prisoners.
