People close to Sultan Transitional Government Prime Minister Hamduk recently revealed that Hamduk, who was placed under house arrest by the military after the coup d'état in the country, said on October 31 local time that he would never "voluntarily" step down.

Volker Perthes, the U.N. special representative in Sudan, said on October 31 that he had met Hamduk under house arrest and said he was still "in good condition."

CNN reported on October 31 that other personnel can only meet Hamduk in the presence of military personnel, although the military still allows mediators inside and outside Sudan to meet with Hamduk.

On October 31, sources close to Hamduke and familiar with the mediation negotiations proposed four steps to restore order in the country, the first of which was to release Hamduk and restore it to "the status quo ante."

One source said Hamduk believed the military's position was "untenable" and "but change can only be achieved through the political process." Hamduk called for radical political reform and the rebuilding of the Sovereign Commission. He also hopes that politically neutral technocrats will be selected with full autonomy to form a cabinet and that political participation will be expanded to reflect greater representation. If the military fails to do this and there is no guarantee of restitution, Hamduk "will not negotiate."

It is reported that the current attitude of the military has increased the difficulty of negotiations. Burhan said at a press conference on the 26th that Sudan's "dangerous situation last week may lead the country into a civil war" and that the military action is to "correct the transitional line" and "not a coup d'état." ”

According to Deutsche Welle reported on October 31, Pertez discussed "possible options for mediation and the future of Sudan" when meeting hamduk, and Pellet will also "continue to work hard" with other stakeholders in Sudan.

On October 30, Sudan erupted in the largest demonstration since the coup d'état on the 25th, and the international community's condemnation of the Sudanese coup was also strengthening, with the United Nations and other foreign forces demanding that the Sudanese military release Hamduk and other detainees.

On October 28, Sultan's military supreme commander Bulhan said Sudan would produce a new prime minister and a sovereign council "within a week at most." On the 26th, Burhan also said at a press conference held in Khartoum that a new civilian government will be formed to lead the political transition process in Sudan, and once the relevant institutions are established, the national emergency will be abolished.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the sovereign committee is Sudan's transitional state authority, composed of 11 people, both military and non-military, with Burhan as chairman. The Hamduk-led transitional government is made up of non-military officials.
