On 21 November, former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdo and her military chief, Abdel Fatah al-Burhan, came together to inform them that an agreement has been reached between civilians and the military to re-elect Hamdo as Prime Minister. According to the pact, the Sovereign Council will continue to make the transition to democracy and the parties to the agreement will have to form a government of "technocrats and non-independentists". The pact also includes the military ' s decision to release detained politicians.

On 25 October, the military struck a coup d ' état, led by Al-Burhan, in the centre of the country. Among other things, Prime Minister Hamdo was placed under house arrest and the government and sovereign council of “democratic transition”, then made up of military and civilian representatives, were dismantled. Tensions between the two sides erupted and the military leader al-Burhan argued that “it was necessary” for the Army to take control of Sudan to “try to lead the path of transition”. Now, they have agreed to continue to do "the road to transition" together, and expect elections to be held in 2023.

Rejection of civilians

The coalition of civilians that Abdalla Hamdo designated as Head of State, the Freedom and Change Force, has condemned the agreement on the grounds that its signature legitimizes a coup d ' état. Coalition member Jamal Idris has stressed that the agreement is only represented by Hamdo, and not by the coalition of civilians: “This is a pact of dependency, because Hamdo has come directly to the presidential seat since his arrest at home and has signed it without consulting us,” he explained to the EFE agency. Hamdokk has argued that it has signed the pact to "paralyse violence" and "curb violence".

However, violence has not stopped and protests in the streets are causing the death of the population by the Army. According to the independent trade union Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors, the protests have left at least 41 deaths since 25 October, five of them minors. According to this union, most of the deaths have been killed, last Sunday, in the clashes following the announcement of Hamdo and Al-Burhan. However, the Army has refused to use weapons. Citizens also do not agree with the pact with the military and will continue to express themselves "until civil power returns to Spain".

International recognition

In general, the international community has been satisfied with the announcement of the signing of the agreement. Among others, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union and the United Nations have applauded the agreement between the military and the civilians that have come forward. The demonstrators have called for the release of the remaining detainees. The Arab League has also described the agreement as "success", and its Secretary-General, Ahmed Abulgueit, has stressed that the Khartum pact, which has Arab and international support, has been the result of the efforts of recent weeks to emerge from the political crisis.
