15/10/2021: Sudan Tribune - Sudan’s Hamdok rejects Burhan’s request to dissolve government

Sudan Tribune report that Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok rejected a request from Abdulfattah al-Burhan, the leader of the military component of the government, to dissolve the FFC-majority cabinet.

In a meeting with Hamdok, al-Burhan and his deputy, Rapid Support Forces commander Himedti requested another government involving political groups that form the splinter FFC-National Accord faction led by armed movement leader Minni Minnawi.

The military leaders also asked Hamdok to freeze the Empowerment Removal Committee, although the latter rejected the requests, as he says he was selected by the FFC to implement the democratic transition.
