Osman Mirghani I am confident that our beloved Sudan is greater than all the troubles facing the nation and its people. But on the other hand, such confidence should be just open wishes on the air without determined timing. Prime Minister, Dr. Abdallah Hamdok indeed said that he is seeing a light at the end of the funnel, but most important for us is to know the length of the tunnel and where is its…

Hamdok’s Initiative… The Last Supper!!
Omer B. Abu Haraz The initiative of PM Dr. Hamdok is vaguely reminiscent of the event of the Last Supper which was prepared by Jesus one day before the crucifixion.

Time Is Running Out; A Round Table Is Crucial to Get out of this Dilemma
One of the big concerns of the revolutionists of the glorious December uprising is that the transitional period is still below the aspirations.

Hamdock’s Initiative & the Political Will
Dr. Elshafie Khidir Saeid Last week, the Prime Minister, Dr. Abdullah Hamdock, launched an initiative entitled “National Crisis and Transition Issues, the Way Forward”.
