EU diplomats seek to meet Sudan’s deposed PM
European Union diplomats in Sudan want to meet deposed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, whom they recognise as the “constitutional leader of the transitional government”.
Mr Hamdok returned to his home with his wife on Tuesday evening, a day after the military detained him and some cabinet ministers following a coup.
He is said to be under heavy security in his home in the capital, Khartoum, according to news agencies.
In a statement, the EU said “it is paramount for the ambassadors based in Khartoum to be able to communicate with the prime minister”.
It also called for the release of all political detainees and unfettered humanitarian access throughout the country.
