Sudanese Sovereign Council leader General Abdel Fattah al Burhan sacked on Monday acting interior minister Anan Hamed Mohammed Omar, who is also the general director for the police.
A military statement said that Omar was replaced by Lt.-Gen. Khaled Hassan Mohiuddin as police chief.
Additionally, Burhan issued a decision terminating the services of Ambassador Abdel-Monem Osman Mohamed Ahmed Al-Beiti and Ambassador Haydar Badawi Sadik from their positions at the Foreign Ministry.
Omar has close ties to Burhan and both hail from the same region in the state of River Nile in northern Sudan.
Thousands of police forces withdrew from their posts, departments, and streets across the capital city, Khartoum after clashes between the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted in April.
Later, military leaders deployed many Central Reserve Police forces to secure residential areas and streets, but they ended up embroiled in fighting with the RSF.
Burhan had sacked central bank governor Hussain Yahia Jankol on Sunday.
Borai El Siddiq, who is one of Jankol’s deputies, was named as his replacement, Burhan’s office said in a statement.
Burhan also issued another decree targeting the official accounts of the RSF in Sudanese banks, as well as the accounts of all companies belonging to the group.
Separately, the International Committee of the Red Cross warned that healthcare facilities in Sudan are facing imminent “collapse” because of the ongoing intense fighting between the military and RSF.
In a tweet, the organization highlighted the severe shortages of supplies and treatment that healthcare facilities have been enduring for weeks, revealing that more than 70% of hospitals are non-operational.
Since mid-April, the Sudanese army, led by Burhan, and the RSF, commanded by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, have been locked in a power struggle that has forced thousands to flee to neighboring countries.
