Sudan’s de facto ruler General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan names a new transitional council to steer the country after his coup in October, state television reports.
Burhan, who led the ruling Sovereign Council — formed in 2019 after the toppling of long-time autocrat Omar al-Bashir — will keep his position as head of the council.
Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, leader of the feared paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, remains his deputy.
