Sudans ongoing political crisis casts a shadow on its already fragile economy, as shown by the slump in the exchange rates of the Sudanese pound against major foreign currencies following Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdoks resignation.
Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said on Sunday he was resigning, six weeks after returning to his post in a deal with military coup leaders that he argued could save a transition toward democracy.
