January 2, 2021 (Washington, DC) – Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigned today, amid widespread anti-coup protests across the nation. Experts at The Sentry are available for comment and analysis.
John Prendergast, Co-Founder of The Sentry, said: “The longer the United States and European Union wait to create consequences for the actions of the military rulers, the more the regime is consolidating its economic and political power, to the great detriment of Sudan’s population.”
