Several Western countries have expressed grave concern over the decision by Sudan’s army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to appoint a new ruling body weeks after he led a military coup that derailed the country’s fragile transition towards democracy.
Al-Burhan on Thursday issued a decree for the creation of a 14-member Sovereign Council, with himself at the head, and was sworn in late on Thursday. The commander of the feared paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemeti, was sworn in as the council’s deputy head, a position he retained from the previous council.
