Sudan’s army chief plans to establish a transitional government to facilitate military operations and lay the groundwork for democratization. He aims to form a cabinet of independent experts to lead this transition while emphasizing military objectives against the RSF.
Sudan’s army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, announced plans to form a transitional government, referred to as a “caretaker” or “war government,” in light of military successes against rival paramilitary forces. This government will consist of independent experts and aims to maintain military operations while also preparing for future political transitions, including elections.
Since April 2023, Sudan has experienced intense conflict between the army, led by Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commanded by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo. Amidst ongoing violence, the need for a structured political process has become critical, prompting Burhan’s proposal for a transitional government to stabilize and eventually democratize the nation.
Burhan’s initiative signifies an effort to restore governance and address military challenges in Sudan, aiming to eliminate the RSF threat and establish a pathway for political reform leading to elections. However, negotiations with the RSF are contingent upon their withdrawal from key regions, which remains a pivotal aspect of the political landscape.
