DETAILS TO FOLLOW Sudan has just gone through a period of instability; its long-time strongman leader Omar al-Bashir was ousted in April 2019 following months of massive protests. His departure did not calm things down, however, as the nation was then gripped by clashes between protesters and a provisional military authority.
Eventually, in July, the opposing Sudanese sides reached an agreement and a transitional government, led by Hamdok, was formed.
An economist who previously worked for the UN Economic Commission for Africa, 61-year-old Hamdok started talks with the IMF and the World Bank to stabilize a national economy shattered by high inflation rates as well as shortages of food, fuel and hard currency.
It is still unclear what group could be behind his assassination attempt.
