After another day of mobilization against the confiscation of power by the military, Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok, civilian face of the transition in Sudan, announced his resignation on Sunday January 2, more than two months after a coup d'état followed by a crackdown that left 56 dead in the country.
What does this foreshadow for the country?

Abdallah Hamdok was considered a "traitor" by pro-democracy demonstrators since he agreed to return to his post on November 21, less than a month after General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's coup.
Since the independence of Sudan 65 years ago, the demonstrators proclaim it: they want "neither partnership, nor negotiation" with the army.
