The Sudanese military has called for diplomatic support for a new government. The formation of a new Sudanese government is expected to happen after the recapture of Khartoum is completed, military sources said.
Army head, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, told a meeting of politicians who back the army over the weekend he would form a technocratic wartime government with a prime minister.
In recent weeks, the Sudanese army has been regaining control of areas in the city previously held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF.
He insisted there would be no negotiations with the RSF. The two sides have been fighting for approaching two years – a conflict that has forced 12 million from their homes and left many starving.
Gen Burhan also said there would be a new constitution prior to the formation of the transitional government.
“We can call it a caretaker government, a wartime government, but it’s a government that will help us complete what remains of our military objectives, which is freeing Sudan from these rebels,” he said on Saturday.
A statement by the foreign ministry on Sunday called on “the international community, particularly the United Nations, the African Union, and the Arab League, to support the roadmap presented by the state as a national consensus for establishing peace and stability and completing the tasks of the transition.”
The army and the RSF, which once worked together, have since been involved in a vicious power struggle.
