- Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan appointed Kamil Idris as prime minister in a constitutional decree announced on Monday, May 19, 2025.
- The appointment follows over two years of civil war between al-Burhan's military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, with recent army gains and a leadership reshuffle.
- Idris, an experienced nonpartisan diplomat and former UN legal adviser with extensive tenure at the World Intellectual Property Organisation, has been appointed to succeed Dafallah al-Haj Ali, who served as acting prime minister for less than a month.
- At least 20,000 people have died and nearly 13 million displaced amid ongoing fighting, while Idris will hold full powers to run a transitional government amid deep fragmentation.
- The appointment raises questions about civilian authority as Sudan's leaders seek power consolidation during an unresolved war and worsening humanitarian crisis.
