Sudan's PM announces new government 

Xinhua, May 11, 2017 Adjust font size:

Sudan's Prime Minister Hassan Saleh on Thursday announced a new government, with economic ministers being replaced.

Mohamed Othman Rukabi, a former army lieutenant general, was appointed as finance minister, Saleh said.

Mubarak Fadel al-Mahdi was appointed as minister of

investment, while Abdulrahman Othman Abdulrahman was appointed as oil minister.

Saleh also said that Hamed al-Mannan was appointed as minister of interior.

The ruling National Congress Party(NCP) has dominated the majority of sovereign ministries, namely defense, foreign affairs, oil, finance, education and electricity.

The new government was scheduled to be announced last February, but was delayed due to differences within the parties. Endit
