4/12/2019: Radio Dabanga - PM Hamdok: 'Anybody responsible for atrocities in Sudan will be held to account, including Hemeti'

Radio Dabanga reports on an interview that Prime Minister Hamdok held with the US National Public Radio (NPR), during which Hamdok said that “anybody” responsible for atrocities in Sudan – including Rapid Support Forces commander Himedti - must be held accountable.

Hamdok also said that Omar al-Bashir will be tried in Sudan, that his government will continue to repeal laws that regulate women’s freedom, adding that women’s representation in transitional institutions is well-deserved.

Hamdok also said that Sudan’s designation by the US as a terrorism sponsor is impeded any debt restructuring, which is “creating very serious hardships to the ordinary citizens on the streets.” He added that investment into Sudan would “have an extremely strategic impact and effect in the entire region.”
