Abdalla Hamdok announced his resignation in a speech on Sunday.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below.

Sudanese security forces on Sunday violently dispersed pro-democracy protesters, killing at least two people, a medical group said. The demonstrations were the latest to protest a military coup that rattled the country's fragile transition to democracy.

Thousands had taken to the streets in Khartoum and other cities across the country to denounce the October takeover, and a subsequent deal that reinstated the prime minister but sidelined the pro-democracy movement.
