Sudan's army chief has appointed a former UN official as the African country's first prime minister since its brutal civil war broke out two years ago, on the back of increasing military wins, particularly its ousting of paramilitary forces from the capital in March.
Kamil al-Taib Idris, a career diplomat who formerly worked as Sudan's legal adviser at its UN mission and had also previously run for president, will aim to form a transitional government in the country that has been torn apart by fighting.
