Following the resignation of Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok, the European Union and the United States have warned military leaders in the capital, Khartoum, not to appoint a prime minister and a cabinet unilaterally.
The countries “will not support an appointed prime minister or government without the involvement of civilian stakeholders,” the European Union, the United States, Britain and Norway said in a joint statement.
They have said that economic aid to Sudan also depends on this.
“We look forward to working with a government and parliament for the transition period, which enjoys the trust of the Sudanese people and can lead to free and fair elections.”
The statement added that Western powers continue to hold military authorities accountable for “human rights abuses that are contrary to current national law, as well as international law”.
“The right of the people to assemble peacefully and to express their demands must be protected.”
Hamdok resigned on Sunday, following weeks of bloody protests against the government and tensions with military leaders.
Hamdok was ousted from power through a military coup in October 2021, but later returned, following pressure at home and abroad.
There have been ongoing protests in the country against the army’s participation in the Government, led by Hamdok, a civilian leader.
