Sudan Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok survives assassination attempt

Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has survived an assassination attempt Monday March 09,2020 after a blast went off near his convoy in the capital, Khartoum

Hamdok wrote on Twitter he was "safe and in good shape" following Monday's explosion

"What happened will not stop the  path of change, it will be nothing but an additional push in the strong waves of the revolution," added the veteran economist, who became prime minister in August, months after a pro-democracy movement forced the army to remove long-time President Bashar al-Bashir

The attack happened as the prime minister was heading to his office

There was no immediate claim of responsibility

Footage posted online showed two white vehicles used by Sudan's top officials parked on a street, damaged with their widows broken. Another vehicle was badly damaged in the blast.
