3/9/19: AFP - Sudan PM to announce new cabinet 'within 48 hours'

 AFP reports that Sudanese prime minister Abdalla Hamdok will unveil the first cabinet since Omar Al Bashir’s overthrow within 48 hours, the Sudanese sovereign council said.

 Hamdok initially delayed the announcement of the cabinet as he mulled between nominees proposed by Sudanese generals and the Forces of Freedom and Change.

 Hamdok said his intention is to form a government that is “more representative of states across Sudan," and ensure "gender balance", the sovereign council said.
