Sudan’s Bashir swears in new prime minister

Following the dissolution of government on Friday, in addition to declaration of state of emergency, President Bashir has appointed Mohamed Tahir Eila as the new prime minister.

Eila, who is the former governor of the agricultural state of Jazeera, was sworn in on Sunday at a ceremony, according to an AFP photographer.

“Today, a new chapter begins in Sudan’s history,” Bashir, dressed in a military uniform, said at the ceremony.

Defence Minister General Awad Ibnouf was sworn in as the first vice president after his predecessor, Bakri Hassan Saleh, had been sacked by Bashir.

Bashir also swore in 16 army officers and two officers from the National Intelligence and Security Service dressed in military uniforms as new governors for the country’s 18 provinces.

“This chapter needs special people like you to lead… in order to guarantee security and stability in the country.”

Bashir is expected to announce an entire new cabinet as he pushes on with sweeping top level changes in the face of nationwide protests that have rocked his rule.
