![]() ![]() Al-Burhan’s July 2022 commitment to withdraw the military from politics and accept a civilian agreement on the formation of a new government, Sudanese civilian parties have been leading initiatives to develop a framework that would restore a civilian-led government in a transitional period leading to a democratic transition. The UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission to Sudan (UNITAMS), the African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) are presently facilitating a political process aimed at renewing the transition. However, Hamdok resigned in January 2022, citing ongoing security force violence against pro-democracy protesters and stasis in moving forward on Sudan’s transition. Hamdok returned as PM in a political arrangement with Al-Burhan in November 2021. Al-Burhan launched a military takeover that ousted Prime Minister Hamdok, dissolved the government, abrogated several tenets of the Constitutional Declaration, and jailed numerous political and civilian leaders. The Constitutional Declaration, signed in 2019, required that this arrangement continue until democratic elections the chair of the Sovereign Council is also due to transfer to a civilian, prior to elections. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan – served as a collective head of state. The Sovereign Council – a body comprised of six civilian and five military members and currently chaired by Gen. Abdalla Hamdok, a former international civil servant, served as Prime Minister and head of government. A Transitional Military Council governed the country until August 2019, when it agreed to cede power to a civilian-led transitional government (CLTG) following internationally supported negotiations. Embassy was reopened in 2002.Īl-Bashir maintained power for nearly 30 years, until widespread popular protests that began in December 2018 resulted in his overthrow in April 2019. After Brigadier General Omar al-Bashir took power in a 1989 coup backed by Islamists, Sudan established links with international terrorist organizations, resulting in the United States’ designation of Sudan as a State Sponsor of Terrorism in 1993 and the suspension of U.S. Sudan broke diplomatic relations with the United States in 1967 after the start of the Arab-Israeli War. The United States established diplomatic relations with Sudan in 1956, following its independence from joint administration by Egypt and the United Kingdom.
