  According to the latest news, Sudan’s Transitional Prime Minister Hamduk, who is under house arrest, issued a statement calling on the people to take to the streets and "defend the revolution" in a peaceful way.

  The Sudanese news agency stated that Hamduk made this statement at the place of house arrest, and pointed out that the “man behind the arrests” of members of the Sudan’s governing body and the transitional government were the “military joint forces”.

  Regarding the situation in Sudan, the special envoy of the Horn of Africa Feltman posted on social media that the United States was "deeply shocked by reports of the military taking over the transitional government" and said that "this would violate the Constitutional Declaration and the democracy of the Sudanese people." Desire is totally unacceptable."

  Feltman also said, "As we have repeatedly said, any change in the transitional government by force will put US aid at risk."

[Recently many protests broke out]

  What is the root cause of this country's current situation?

  In fact, there have been many protests in Sudan recently, and the conflicting parties are the Sudanese military and civilian officials and their supporters.

  In the context of a severe economic crisis and a decline in living standards, in April 2019, the Sudanese military announced that it would overthrow the Bashir regime, establish a transitional military committee, and take over the regime.

  On August 21 of the same year, the Sudan Sovereignty Commission, the supreme authority for the transition period, was established, and the Sudan Transitional Military Commission was automatically dissolved.

The military representative serves as the chairman.

On the same day, Hamduk was sworn in as prime minister of the transitional government.

In September, the Soviet transitional government was established.

  In October 2020, the Sudanese Transitional Government and the rebels signed a final peace agreement to end 17 years of hostility.

  Recently, however, Sudanese military leaders have called for a reorganization of the government, while civilian officials have accused the military of planning to seize power.

Supporters of both sides held separate demonstrations in Khartoum recently.

[There was an attempted coup not long ago]

Not long ago, on September 21, the official spokesperson of the Sudan Sovereignty Commission announced on social media: "The Sudanese army has defeated the coup launched by some officers."

  According to local sources in Sudan, at that time, about 40 military officers participated in the attempted coup.

Participants in the coup have also tried to control the national radio station.

The domestic situation in Sudan is said to be "under control," but the dark tide of the conflict does not seem to have subsided.

  Sudan is one of the least developed countries in the world announced by the United Nations. It has a single economic structure, weak foundation, backward industry, and strong dependence on the natural environment and foreign aid.

In recent years, Sudan's domestic prices have risen, the currency has depreciated, and fiscal revenue has plummeted.

  And this time, how long will the turbulent situation in Sudan last?

When will the 44.35 million Sudanese people usher in a stable and peaceful life?
