Sudan’s public prosecutor, under army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has charged former Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and 15 others with up to death.
Sudanese state television said prosecutors had “filed a complaint” against Hamdok and 15 others, including party leaders and journalists, accusing them of “undermining the constitution and inciting war against the state and genocide,” charges that carry the death penalty, and demanded that they surrender within a week.
The statement included former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, former Foreign Minister Maryam al-Sadiq al-Mahdi, Sudanese Congress Party leader Omar al-Digair, party deputy chairman Khaled Omar Youssef, and former Sudanese Sovereignty Council member Mohamed al-Faki Suleiman.
Hamdok has been living outside Sudan since the coup led by Burhan against his government in cooperation with his former deputy and current enemy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo (Hemedti).
Hamdok is in contact with Sudanese and regional parties in order to stop the war in Sudan through negotiations, and as part of these efforts, he reached an agreement with Dagalo to start negotiations to end the conflict that erupted in April 2023.
The move by Burhan’s government against Hamdok comes after US special envoy to Sudan Tom Perriello announced at the end of last month that he hoped that the parties to the conflict in Sudan would resume dialogue after Ramadan and work to prevent a wider regional war, despite the failure of previous negotiations.
