Sudan: Prime Minister Resigns and Military In Charge

 The New York Times published on 2 January 2022 an article titled "Sudan's Prime Minister, Abdalla Hamdok, Resigns" by Abdi Latif Dahir.

AlArabiya News published on 3 January 2022 an article titled "Sudan PM's Decision to Resign Throws Country Further into the Abyss" by Joseph Haboush.

The resignation on 2 January of civilian Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok ends any pretense of a civilian government in Sudan.  The generals are firmly in control and show no inclination to allow meaningful civilian engagement.  US officials look on in growing despair.
