Sudan’s newly appointed Prime Minister Kamil Idris has dissolved the country’s interim administration, state news agency SUNA reported late Sunday. No timetable has yet been set for the formation of a new government.
Kamil Idris, a former United Nations official, was sworn in on Saturday in the Red Sea city of Port Sudan at a ceremony attended by Sudanese army chief and president Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. His inauguration marks the first time Sudan has had a prime minister since a military coup in October 2021.
In his opening speech on Sunday, Idris pledged to remain neutral in Sudan’s fractured political landscape and stressed his determination to restore national stability, improve security and rebuild institutions in the war-torn country.
