Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on Monday appointed new oil and
foreign ministers in a major cabinet reshuffle that saw four other
ministers changed amid a worsening economic crisis, state media
reported.
The cabinet overhaul was approved by Bashir's ruling National
Congress Party at a meeting late on Sunday, the official news agency
SUNA reported.
In a presidential decree on Monday, Bashir replaced his oil,
interior, agriculture, youth and sports and justice ministers and also
announced a new foreign minister replacing Ghandour, SUNA reported.
The reshuffle saw Al-Dierdiry al-Dhikheri named as the new foreign
minister, Ibrahim Hamid as interior minister and Azhari Abdallah as oil
minister.
Dhikeri, former Sudanese ambassador to Uganda, had been a member of
Khartoum's team that negotiated the separation of south from the north
in 2011.
Hamid, an aide to Bashir, had previously headed the interior ministry from 2008 to 2015
On Monday, Bashir also changed five ministers of state and eight governors, SUNA reported.
