Sudan’s coup leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has named a new ruling council with himself as the leader and excluding civilian members of the previous council.
He was sworn in yesterday.
Gen Burhan retained his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, alias Hemeti, as well as other senior military leaders to the positions they held before the 25th October coup.
The 14-member transitional council also includes civilians but none from the political coalition that was in power before the coup.
Sudan’s ousted Information Minister Hamza Balloul termed the new move an extension of the coup and said the people can defeat it and continue the transition.
The new council comes despite increasing domestic and international pressure to reverse the coup.
