Abdalla Hamdok

Sudanese public administrator and former prime minister

Abdalla Hamdok held public office at a time when the terms of that office were themselves being contested.

The record lists Abdalla Hamdok as Sudanese public administrator and former prime minister.

Abdalla Hamdok was born at Al-Dibaibat in 1956. His recorded nationality is Sudan. He was educated at University of Manchester and University of Khartoum.

Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.

The offices held were Prime Minister of Sudan (2019–2021), Prime Minister of Sudan (2021–2022) and Minister of Finance and Economy (2018–2018).

He is described as economist, official and politician.

Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.

That the career was made in Sudan is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.

Abdalla Hamdok's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
