Burhan Reappoints Himself Sudan's Interim Leader

Sudan&#039;s coup leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has named a new ruling council with himself as the leader following the military takeover last month. <br />Gen Burhan retained his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, alias Hemeti, as well as other senior military leaders to the positions they held before the 25 October coup. <br />The 14-member transitional council also includes civilians but none from the political coalition that was in power before the coup. <br />The UN’s envoy in Sudan Volker Perthes says the army’s chief’s unilateral appointment council makes it increasingly difficult for the country to return to constitutional order.
