Sudan's prime minister has survived an apparent assassination attempt after an explosion went off near his convoy in the capital, Khartoum, on 9 March 2020; according to state media. Abdalla Hamdok's family confirmed he was safe following the explosion. Prime Minister Hamdok was heading to his office when the blast took place. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. The attack highlighted the fragility of Sudan's transition to civilian rule, almost a year after pro-democracy protesters forced the military to remove the autocratic president Omar al-Bashir from power and replace him with a joint military-civilian government. However, military generals remain the de facto rulers of the country and have shown little willingness to hand over power to civilians. Hence it is very important that military generals in Sudan finally hand over power to civilians and democratically elected officials; so that liberal based governance, democracy, peace and prosperity can finally be manifested in Sudan.
