FRANCE 24 spoke to Abdalla Hamdok, who served as Sudan's prime minister twice after the fall of Omar al-Bashir in 2019. As the war in his country entered its second year, the former premier described the situation as "extremely catastrophic, probably the most serious, disastrous situation in the world today". Yet he expressed hope that the war "will come to an end", noting "some progress" in regional and national efforts towards a political solution.
Abdalla Hamdok is currently head of the Coordination of Civilian Democratic Forces (Taqaddum), a civilian coalition involved in Sudan's peace negotiations.
