Sudan's army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has appointed Kamil Idris, a former UN official, as the country's new prime minister. This marks the first time Sudan has had a prime minister since the outbreak of civil war in 2023 and the resignation of Abdalla Hamdok after a military coup in 2021. The appointment comes as the military has made significant advances against its paramilitary rivals. Idris is expected to lead a military-dominated government during a period of ongoing conflict and instability. The move is seen as a significant development in Sudan's ongoing political crisis.
