Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has resigned after another day of mass protests rocked the capital Khartoum.
Thousands marched against a recent deal he had done to share power with the army, who staged a coup in October.
Protesters called for a return to full civilian rule but military forces again responded with force, leaving two people dead.
Mr. Hamdok’s decision to quit leaves the army in full control.
It is another blow to Sudan’s fragile attempts at a transition to democratic rule after a popular uprising led to the overthrow of Sudan’s long-term authoritarian President Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
In a televised address, Mr. Hamdok said the country was at a dangerous turning point that threatens its whole survival.
He said he had tried his best to stop the country from sliding towards disaster, but it has not happened.
