19/4/19: Sudan Tribune – Sudan’s military chief sacks freshly appointed information official

Abdelfattah Al Burhan, the head of Sudan’s transitional military council, removed Abdelmajed Haroun, the Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Information following a strong rejection of the Sudanese journalists.

 The Sudanese Journalists Network, a member of the Sudanese Professionals Association, issued a statement denouncing the appointment of Haroun, a member of the former ruling National Congress Party,  and called for a protest outside the ministry of information.

Al Burhan told Al Jareeda newspaper that he did not know Haroun’s political history and his political affiliation before appointing him.
