KHARTOUM, Dec 21 (Reuters) – Sudan Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has told a group of national political and intellectual figures that he intends to resign in the coming hours, two sources close to Hamdok told Reuters on Tuesday. While several political forces took part in drafting the agreement, according to the sources, it has faced widespread criticism from parties and the general public. Some 47 people have died in crackdowns on protests against military rule, including two as a result of Saturday’s protest. Sources close to Hamdok had said previously he would only remain in office if he had political support and if the agreement was enforced. The group Hamdok spoke to on Tuesday called on him to stay in his position but he insisted he would leave, the sources added.
