On October 25, 2021, he was arrested by armed men during a coup and taken to an unknown location.[2] The European Union, the United States and other countries have said that they continued to recognise the Hamdok cabinet as "the constitutional leaders" of Sudan.[3] A month later on 21 November, a deal was made in which all political prisoners including Hamdok were released with Hamdok becoming prime minister again.[4] However, he resigned on 2 January 2022 as protests against the military coup in the country got more intense.[5]
