A new Sudanese government is expected to be established after Khartoum's recapture, according to military sources, cited by the media.

"We can call it a caretaker government, a wartime government; it's a government that will help us complete what remains of our military objectives, which is freeing Sudan from these rebels," Sudanese army head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said.

Al-Burhan announced changes to the interim constitution that would reportedly remove civilian and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) involvement, placing sole authority with the army. The army would appoint a technocratic prime minister to form a cabinet. Al-Burhan called on the civilian Taqadum coalition to denounce the RSF for potential reinstatement.
