       CAIRO - (Reuters) - Sudan’s ousted prime minister, Abdalla Hamdok, has agreed to return to lead a government, Saudi-owned al Arabiya TV reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources.

       Hamdok agreed to make the move on the condition that political detainees were released, al Hadath TV said, citing sources.
