November 21, 2021 (Washington, DC) – Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was freed from detention today, according to breaking news reports. The release comes amid massive street demonstrations protesting the recent military coup.
John Prendergast, Co-Founder of The Sentry, said: "The international community shouldn't be mollified by this single action. Unless the entire edifice of authoritarian kleptocracy begins to be dismantled, Sudan will continue to experience waves of conflict, dictatorship, and corruption."
The Sentry is monitoring the situation and experts are available for comment and analysis.
