Sudan's prime minister dissolves the government, reports the National Agency news agency

    Cairo (Reuters) -Sudan's new Prime Minister Kamil Idris has dissolved the country's caretaker, the Suna news agency reported late on Sunday.

    Suna did not specify if a new government, the first since the war broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary rapid strict forces, would be announced.

    Idris was appointed by army chef Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of state of Sudan. The RSF said earlier this year that it would form its own parallel government with allied parties.

    Idris took the oath on Saturday as the first Prime Minister of the country since a military -led coup in 2021.

    In a speech on Sunday, he promised to stay at the same distance from all political parties and to give priority to stability, safety and reconstruction in Sudan.
