Sudan pm unharmed in assassination attempt

According to recent reports, the Prime Minister of Sudan, Abdalla Hamdok, has survived an assassination attempt in the capital city of Khartoum. The incident occurred on Monday, March 12, 2023, when Hamdok's motorcade was attacked by unknown assailants.

According to eyewitnesses, the attackers opened fire on the motorcade, but Hamdok and his security detail were able to escape unharmed. The Prime Minister was reportedly traveling in a convoy of vehicles when the attack occurred.

The Sudanese authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, and several suspects have been arrested in connection with the attack. The motive behind the assassination attempt is still unclear, but it is believed to be linked to the ongoing political tensions in the country.

Hamdok has been the Prime Minister of Sudan since August 2019, when he was appointed as part of a transitional government following the overthrow of former President Omar al-Bashir. The transitional government has been working to implement reforms and hold elections, but it has faced numerous challenges and opposition from various factions.

The attempted assassination of Hamdok is a significant development in the ongoing political crisis in Sudan, and it highlights the fragility of the country's political situation.
