(CNN) Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok 's resignation on Sunday was triggered after the military went back on a "non-interference" agreement struck in November and relaunched the feared national intelligence agency, according to Sudanese political sources speaking to CNN. A video address from Hamdok posted on the verified YouTube account of the Prime Minister's office Sunday confirmed he had resigned. The sources spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity, given the sensitivity of the current political climate. Its continued influence, sources say, was another "red line" for Hamdok, rendering the relationship with the military untenable. CNN has reached out to contacts within the Sudanese military for comment but has so far received no response.
