Sudan's prime minister dissolves government, state news agency reports
CAIRO (Reuters) -Sudan's new Prime Minister Kamil Idris has dissolved the country's caretaker government, state news agency SUNA reported late on Sunday.
SUNA did not specify when a new government, the first since war broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, would be announced.
Idris was appointed by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan's head of state. The RSF has said since earlier this year that it would form its own parallel government with allied parties.
Idris took the oath of office on Saturday as the country's first prime minister since a military-led coup in 2021.
In a speech on Sunday, he vowed to remain at equal distance from all political parties and to prioritize stability, security, and reconstruction in Sudan.

Tenderpreneur and criminally accused businessman Vusimusi 'Cat' Matlala abandoned his bid for bail in the Alexandra Magistrate's court on Friday and has traded his high-life for a prison cell while awaiting trial. Both Matlala and his socialite wife, Tsakani, face charges relating to the botched hit on actress and socialite Tebogo Thobejane. Thobejane survived a hit-style shooting in Sandton in October 2023 when the car she was travelling in came under fire. According to a provisional charge sheet, Matlala faces charges of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and money laundering. Tsakani will face charges of money laundering and acting as an accessory after the fact. In a brief appearance, with the couple huddling together in the dock, the court heard that the State advocate and Matlala's legal team had found common ground. As such, by agreement, Tsakani was granted bail in the amount of R20 000 with strict conditions. She was told to hand in her passport, may not leave Gauteng, and may not contact witnesses in the matter, or the family members of other accused. This is a developing story.
