UN urges Sudan’s people to support reinstated prime minister

Sudan could face even darker days ahead if protesters don't accept the junta's concession, the UN chief said.

The head of the United Nations called on Sudan’s people to support the country’s recently reinstated prime minister after a military coup ousted the government in October.

Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he sympathizes with Sudanese protesters’ “indignation” at the coup leaders' continued role in government after Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok returned to office last month.
