Sudanese Community in UK Files Complaint Against Hamdok

Sudanese Echo

A large group from the Sudanese community in the UK has filed a complaint with British police against Dr. Abdalla Hamdok, the resigned Prime Minister and head of Taqaddum Coordination. Hamdok, who arrived in London on Monday, is accused of complicity in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide committed by the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed) through the agreement signed by Taqaddum with the militia on January 3, 2024.
The Sudanese community members demanded that British authorities detain and investigate Hamdok regarding his role in the Janjaweed’s crimes, given his partnership with them through the agreement.

The complaint highlighted that Hamdok’s presence in the UK presents an opportunity for British courts to address the accusations against him. It described the militia’s actions as acts of terrorism, worse than those of ISIS, and stated that under international and British law, cooperating with terrorist groups constitutes a punishable crime.

The complaint further noted that representatives of victims had already filed reports against Hamdok with Sudanese police, where he is wanted, as well as with the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is expected to begin reviewing the case soon.

In addition, Sudanese groups in the UK announced a major protest against Hamdok’s participation in a seminar at Chatham House in London on Thursday, October 31, outside the institute’s building.

Hamdok’s visit to the UK was arranged by former British ambassador Dame Rosalind Marsden, who is believed to be tasked by British intelligence with overseeing Taqaddum and its leaders, participating in all their activities and meetings.

A source revealed that Hamdok’s itinerary does not include any public meetings with Sudanese citizens in the UK, as he continues to avoid direct engagement with the Sudanese public in any country he visits, limiting his meetings to undisclosed gatherings with members of Taqaddum.
