Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk says that the Sudanese government cannot normalize with Israel until after the political transition.
“The transitional phase in Sudan is led by a broad coalition with a specific agenda: to complete the transition process and achieve peace and stability in the country, leading to free elections. The transitional government does not have a mandate beyond these tasks to decide on normalization with Israel. This matter will be decided upon after the duties of the transitional government are completed,” Hamdouk says in a statement.
Since the 2018-9 Sudanese revolution, the country has been led by a transitional government composed of a military leader — Abdel Fattah Burhan — and a civilian head of state — Prime Minister Abuallah Hamdouk. The transitional period is slated to end in 2022.
