Abdalla Hamdok Al-Kinani (also transliterated Abdallah,[1] Hamdouk,[1] AlKinani;[1] Arabic: عبدالله حمدوك الكناني; born 1 January 1956)[2] is a Sudanese public administrator who served as the 15th Prime Minister of Sudan from 2019 to October 2021, and again from November 2021 to 2 January 2022.[3] Prior to his appointment, Hamdok served in numerous national and international administrative positions.[4] From November 2011 to October 2018, he was deputy executive secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).[4][5] UNECA staff described Hamdok as "[a] diplomat, a humble man and a brilliant and disciplined mind".[5] In 2020, Hamdok was named among Bloomberg's 50 Most Influential figures of the year.[6]
Following the transfer of power from the Transitional Military Council to the Sovereignty Council of Sudan during the 2019 plan for a transition to democracy, the Sovereignty Council appointed Hamdok as prime minister. He was sworn in on 21 August 2019.[2][1][7] During the October 2021 Sudanese coup d'état, he was kidnapped and moved to an undisclosed location.[8] The European Union, the United States, and other Western powers stated that they continued to recognise the Hamdok cabinet as "the constitutional leaders of the transitional government".[9] On 21 November 2021, all political prisoners were freed and Hamdok was reinstated as prime minister as part of an agreement with the military.[10][11] Hamdok resigned on 2 January 2022 amid continuing protests.[3]
