KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Sudan’s military leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, on Thursday announced a major reshuffling of the country’s military leadership on Thursday, amid political and economic turmoil.
The change includes the military’s land forces, operations, and supply heads as well as it’s general inspector. A change to the air force leadership had been announced previously, while the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Mohamed Osman Alhussein, was kept in his position.
This marks the largest change in army leadership since a coup led by Burhan and other generals on October 25 ended a transitional partnership with civilian political groups.
