SUDAN'S Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has resigned amid political deadlock and widespread pro-democracy protests following a military coup that derailed the country's fragile transition to democratic rule.
Sudan PM resigns after pro-democracy protests

Mr Hamdok called for a dialogue to agree on a "national charter" and to "draw a road map” to complete the transition.

The October coup upended Sudan's plans to move to democracy after a popular uprising forced the military's overthrow of long-time autocrat Omar al-Bashir and his Islamist government in April 2019.

On Sunday, prior to his resignation, Sudanese security forces violently dispersed pro-democracy protesters, in the latest demonstrations to denounce the takeover and a subsequent deal that reinstated the prime minister but sidelined the pro-democracy movement.

A medical group said at least two people were killed.

The Sudan Doctors Committee, which is part of the pro-democracy movement, said one of the dead was hit "violently" in the head while taking part in a protest march in Khartoum.
