]]> Having removed President Omar Al Bashir from power, Sudanese security forces are taking several hours to decide on the composition of a transitional power.

Initial plans to had Defence Minister Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf head that body have been rejected by protestors who forced Al Bashir’s departure.
