The move is likely to harden opposition among civilian groups who have pledged to resist the military takeover.
Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has formed a new transitional council, headed by himself, to lead the country following the late last month, state media reported on Thursday.
The new 14-member Sovereign Council, for which one member isyet to be named, includes civilians representing Sudan's regions but none from the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) political coalition that had been sharing power with the military since 2019.
Gen. Burhan's deputy will remain Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commander of the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with both men keeping roles they held before the coup.
