In a televised address to the nation on Sunday, Hamdok appealed for talks to agree on what they call a “national charter”, and to draw a roadmap to complete the transition to democracy, one that he hoped would be concordant with the 2019 constitutional document that governs Sudan’s transitional period.
The prime minister further urged the US administration to separate between the process of removing Sudan from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism and the issue of normalization with Israel.
The law was passed during a joint meeting of Sudan's sovereign council and cabinet that lasted several hours, during which the body also scrapped a law regulating women's dress and behaviour.
