Anti-coup protests in Sudan continue after PM reinstated

BBC World Service - Newshour, Anti-coup protests in Sudan continue after PM reinstated

The deal struck with the reinstated PM failed to end weeks of deadly protests

The deal struck between PM Hamdok and the military fails to end weeks of deadly protests.

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok was reinstated in a deal struck with the military leadership, weeks after the October 25th coup. But the agreement failed to rouse optimism in pro-democracy protesters who feel their Prime Minister may have agreed under duress. We hear from a protester in Khartoum who says the deal only handed more power to the military. We also speak to the former US assistant secretary of state for Africa, who says this is a positive step in the transition to a civilian government.

Also on the programme: Some Mexican deportees are finding ways to rebound in their home country; And after calls for information regarding Peng Shuai, The International Olympic Committee says its president, Thomas Bach, has held a video call with the Chinese tennis star and claims all is well.
