1/11/2021: AFP - Sudan's ousted PM says solution hinges on return of govt: ministry

AFP report that Sudan's ousted Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said the reinstatement of his government, dissolved in a military coup, could pave the way to a solution in the country, the information ministry said.

Meanwhile, Kamal al-Gizouli, the lead defence lawyer for detained civilian leaders said their whereabouts are unknown and that they are in a "dangerous legal situation". Gizouli expressed concern about the well-being of the detainees and called on those holding them to reveal their location. "These detainees are in the most dangerous legal situation" since nothing was known about their case nor who was heading the investigation, he added.

Jonas Horner of the International Crisis Group think tank said Hamdok’s “political cache has been boosted…and he is strengthened from what was a relatively weak position previously,” citing Hamdok's "principled stance" prior to the coup in refusing to dissolve his government.
