Son of Sudan's De Facto Leader Dies in Hospital in Turkey, Reports Say

In 2019, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan replaced Sudan's then-leader Omar al-Bashir who was overthrown in a coup, and appointed Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (also known as Hemedti), commander of the Rapid Support Forces, as his deputy. In 2021, al-Burhan carried out a coup, setting up the complete dominance of the army in the new Transitional Sovereignty Council.
