Sudan Appoints New Prime Minister Amid Ongoing Conflict and Political Shifts

Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan has named former UN official and ex-presidential candidate Kamil Idris as prime minister — the first such appointment since the 2021 coup.

Idris’ appointment comes shortly after a failed attempt to nominate diplomat Dafallah al-Haj Ali as acting prime minister.

Al-Burhan also reappointed Salma Abdel Jabbar Almubarak and added Nowara Abo Mohamed Mohamed Tahir to the ruling sovereign council.

The move follows the army’s recapture of Khartoum from the Rapid Support Forces in March.
