Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok Reinstated As Teenager Killed in Ongoing Anti-Coup Protests
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, security forces shot dead a 16-year-old during anti-coup
protests Sunday. The latest demonstration came as Prime Minister Abdalla
Hamdok was reinstated by the military coup government, one month after
his ousting. Hamdok signed a power-sharing deal with the military that
would last 3-to-4 years before new elections are held. This is a
protester speaking yesterday from the capital Khartoum.

Hend Mohamed: "Prime Minister Hamdok is in a position of weakness and
isn't able to speak up about people's demands because he is staying with
the military leader Burhan in the same place, he can't tell him that
he's a killer and he must be tried. But we want politicians who can
bring us out of this mess, we don't want any more bloodshed, we want a
civilian state without any more violence OUT: or escalation."

At least 41 people have been killed and hundreds injured in protests
since the October 25 coup.
