Sudan’s PM Survives Assassination Attempt

Wednesday, March 11, 2020

Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has survived an assassination attempt after a blast near his convoy in Khartoum, the capital city.

Prime Minister Hamdok wrote on Twitter he was “safe and in good shape” following Monday’s attack and resultant explosions. “I would like to assure the people of Sudan that I am safe and in good shape. Rest assured that what happened today will not stand in the way of our transition, instead it is an additional push to the wheel of change in Sudan,” the PM tweeted.

The PM added, “”What happened will not stop the path of change, it will be nothing but an additional push in the strong waves of the revolution.” Hamdok is leading a transitional government following the overthrow of long-time President Omar al-Bashir last year.

To date, there has been no claim of responsibility.
