Sudan’s Committee for Dismantling Ingaz (Salvation) Regime and Removing Empowerment has issued decisions to dismiss figures who were serving during the term of ousted President Omar al-Bashir.
The decisions target those in leadership positions in a number of ministries and government institutions and call for seizing their property and preventing them from traveling abroad, pending judicial action.
Member of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Mohamed Alfaki Suleiman, vice-chairman of the Committee, affirmed that the decisions are consensual.
He said all the transitional authority’s institutions have agreed that dismantling the ousted regime is a strategic approach that is stipulated in the constitutional document, being one of the most important goals of the protest movement.
At a press conference he held in Khartoum on Thursday, Alfaki said the Committee has taken 13 decisions to end the role of Bashir-era figures in state institutions.
Some decisions have been postponed for further study, he noted.
All ministries are currently reviewing the files of their employees, Alfaki said, adding that a number of decisions have been transferred to the general prosecutor.
The decisions include restoring public institutions and real estate seized by some figures for their own benefit, dissolving unions, and confiscating their assets and funds.
Member of the Committee Wajdi Saleh said 51 employees have been fired from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, in addition to 51 Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning staff members.
The Committee decided to dismiss four managers and employees at the Ministry of Urban Planning, and managers of the Land Authority and the Housing and Construction Fund, Saleh added.
It also dismissed the General Manager of the “Blue Nile” channel, Hassan Fadl al-Mawla, in addition to redeeming 16 million shares from the “Nile Bank” for the Ministry of Finance, Khartoum State.
A decision to revoke the licenses of a number of organizations and associations established under Bashir was also issued, Saleh noted, adding that all of their real estate accounts and assets were seized and transferred to the Ministry of Finance.
The Committee also ordered freezing the accounts and shares, and seizing the property of a number of companies and brand names registered under pro-Bashir associations and organizations.
