Army announces roadmap for new government as it moves to recapture Khartoum

SUDAN’S army moved to recapture the capital Khartoum from rival forces yesterday, after its leaders called for diplomatic support to form a new government.

The Sudanese army has recaptured control of parts of the city from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in recent weeks after heavy fighting in the war-torn north-east African nation.

Speaking at a meeting of Sudanese politicians supportive of the military, army leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said that he was putting forward a new roadmap to a new constitution.
