Sudanese Reinstated Prime Minister, Hamdok Dismisses Police Chiefs

Sudan’s reinstated Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has replaced the country’s police chiefs, in a move that came after more than 40 people were killed in a crackdown on pro-democracy protests following a military coup last month. <br />Hamdok says he had sacked the director-general of the police, Khaled Mahdi Ibrahim al-Emam, and his deputy, Ali Ibrahim. <br />He appointed Anan Hamed Mohamed Omar with Abdelrahman Nasreddine Abdallah as his deputy. <br />Doctors have accused security forces of targeting protesters in the head, neck and torso with live ammunition, as well as with rubber-coated bullets and tear gas canisters. The police have denied reports they opened fire using live bullets.
