Sudan military reinstates prime minister, but protests continue

Sudan's military has reinstated Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok on Sunday. They have announced the release of all political detainees after weeks of deadly unrest triggered by a coup. Dr Andrew Yaw Tchie from the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs says one of the significant issues with a Sudanese power-sharing agreement, designed to end the deadly unrest following the coup, is that it's not actually what the civilians who are protesting want.
