Sudan forms first cabinet since removal of Al-Bashir

The line-up was formed after Sudan last month swore in a “sovereign council” which was a joint civilian-military ruling body that aimed to oversee the transition.

The cabinet is expected to steer the daily affairs of the country during a transition period of 39 months until the general elections.

The agreement capped months of negotiations that were accompanied by a deadly crackdown by security forces.

The agreement was signed following pressure from the United States and its Arab allies amid growing concerns over the political crisis which could possibly ignite a civil war.
