11/4/2022: Sudan Tribune - Burhan sacks Sudan’s Radio-TV Corporation director

Abdulfattah al-Burhan, the head of the Sudanese army and the ruling Sovereign Council, has fired the director of Sudan’s Radio and TV Corporation Luqman Ahmed.

Luqman was initially fired following the 25 October 2021 military coup, before being reinstated by former prime minister Abdallah Hamdok, and has now been fired again and replaced by Ibrahim al-Bura’i.

Informed sources told Sudan Tribune that Luqman’s removal might be triggered by the invitation of some representatives of the Resistance Committees in a talk show he presents, alongside his rejection of attempts by the Military Media Department to intervene in the management of the corporation and its programmes.

Al-Burhan has now replaced almost all officials appointed by the former prime minister Hamdok.
