KHARTOUM: A move by Sudan’s army chief to create a new body with broad powers has put him at odds with the country’s transitional government.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan heads Sudan’s sovereign council, a military-civilian body established in August last year. It is Sudan’s highest executive authority and is overseeing a fragile three-year transition to civilian rule after the April 2019 ouster of veteran strongman Omar al-Bashir.
