Sudan’s prime minister steps down and country’s political stalemate deepens
Protesters in the streets condemn not only the coup that toppled Hamdok in October 2021, but the deal that brought him back to power in November.
Various opposition political groups and other political forces even considered it an unacceptable concession by Abdullah Hamdok to the military, who controlled Sudan for much of the past six decades.
Security forces killed at least three demonstrators on Sunday. A total of 57 people have died since the coup in late October.
Hours after the violent protests, Hamdock confirmed his resignation in a televised statement. The outgoing prime minister warned that the country is at a “dangerous turning point” that threatens the country’s very survival.
“I tried to do my best to prevent our country from getting into trouble. But despite my efforts to achieve the desired and necessary consensus to ensure security, peace, justice and an end to the bloodshed, this did not happen, ”he lamented.
Hamdok’s resignation adds even more uncertainty to the current situation in Sudan, a country that has been experiencing an increasingly unstable transition from dictatorship to democracy since 2019.
That year, the country was ruled by a council of civilians and military. after the fall of Omar al-Bashir, the dictator he ruled for three decades. The transition process was supposed to end in July 2023 with the appointment of elections.
Despite the difficulties, the aforementioned advice he remained in power until the coup in late October 2021, when several civilian members of the transitional government were detained, including Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok… Then General Abdel Fattah ha-Burkhan declared a state of emergency and the dissolution of the government and the transitional council.
The protesters never made a government decision regarding the person responsible for Hamdok’s initial testimony. In addition to the release of political prisoners, various party forces demanded that the leaders of the coup be brought to justice and accused Hamdok of supporting a false power-sharing.
However, the prime minister’s resignation leaves the country in an even more uncertain situation as it completes the withdrawal of civilian weapons and leaves the army under full and effective government control.
“[A renúncia do primeiro-ministro Abdullah Hamdok] this is a big blow to the military leaders, who thought the deal would appease the protesters and legitimize their rule. It is clear that these calculations are wrong. But this means that the army is now firmly in power, undoing the gains made while the country was trying to return to civilian power. The current political crisis threatens to return Sudan to the authoritarian times of ousted former military leader Omar al-Bashir. ” continue Emmanuel Igunza, BBC News.

Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!
Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.
Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.
The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.
For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .
The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.
Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.
The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.
Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.
“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.
Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.
However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
