Former Sudan PM warns that war in country could be worse than Syria, Libya’s

By Editorial,

Sudan’s former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok told the BBC that he in part blames the international community for the country’s devastating war that is now stretching into its 10th month.

Mr. Hamdok spoke to the BBC’s HardTalk programme about the conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

He expressed frustration at the international community who he said failed to help bring peace and stability to Sudan after long-time President, Omar al-Bashir was ousted in 2019.

Mr Hamdok first became prime minister in the aftermath of Bashir’s exit but finally left power, after a second brief stint, in 2022 amid protests and a dispute with the military. END.
