SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - Sudan's ousted PM wants coup reversed before talks, sources say
Reuters report that Abdallah Hamdok, the prime minister ousted by the military in the 25 October coup, is ready to negotiate on the formation of a new government on condition that the military reverses its coup and releases detainees, sources who met with him said.
However, the army told mediators it would only release detainees who were not facing criminal charges, the sources said.
One minister in Hamdok's ousted government, speaking on condition of anonymity, said cabinet members were not opposed to standing aside for a new government, provided it is led and chosen by Hamdok, and the transitional agreement is restored in full.
