Abdel Fattah al-Burhan Chairman of the Sovereign Council relieved a number of undersecretaries appointed by the former Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok.

In a decision issued on January 20, seen by the Sudan Tribune, al-Burhan who is also the facto head of the government relieved four senior officials appointed by Hamdok before resigning on January 2.

The relieved undersecretaries are Ghanim al-Tayeb of the Ministry of Justice, Ayman Sayed Salim of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, al-Zain Mohamed Ibrahim of the Ministry of Higher Education, Hanan Ibrahim Ahmed of the Ministry of Education.
