Sudan's army chief appoints first prime minister since war's start

Sudan's army chief, General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, has appointed Kamil al-Taib Idris as the country’s first prime minister since the onset of civil war two years ago. Idris, a former UN official, is tasked with forming a transitional government amid ongoing conflict, particularly after recent military victories against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This move aims to stabilize the political landscape after the last prime minister stepped down in early 2022. Despite challenges, including RSF attacks on key locations, the SAF seeks to legitimize its political control in a nation ravaged by warfare.
