Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has announced his resignation amid mass protests over the military's rule.
The military launched a coup in October and put Mr Hamdok under house arrest, but he was reinstated the next month after signing a new power-sharing deal.
Demonstrators have since continued to take to the streets to demand an entirely civilian political leadership.
In a televised address, Mr Hamdok said a new agreement was needed for Sudan's transition to democracy.
"I decided to give back the responsibility and announce my resignation as prime minister, and give a chance to another man or woman of this noble country to... help it pass through what's left of the transitional period to a civilian democratic country," he said.
Security forces killed two people on Sunday during protests against the military's rule, according to the pro-democracy Sudan Central Doctors' Committee.
