Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has confirmed that he is safe and well after a blast shook the capital city, Khartoum. Officials confirmed it was an attempt on the leader’s life.
“I assure the Sudanese people that I am well and completely healthy,” Hamdok wrote in a tweet shortly after the attack on Monday.
Hamdok also said that the attempt on his life would not stop him from continuing on with his political work and delivering change for the Sudanese people.
“What happened will not stop the march of change and will only be an additional splash in the high wave of the revolution,” he wrote.
