Sudan's ruling general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said on Saturday a new government would be formed soon to manage the country's affairs amid the devastating civil war.



Al-Burhan, chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council and commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), made the announcement during a meeting with political forces in Port Sudan, the council said in a statement.



"The upcoming period will witness the formation of a government to complete the transition tasks, and it could be called either a caretaker government or a wartime government," the statement quoted al-Burhan as saying.



He said the purpose of the new government would be to support the military in "cleaning Sudan from rebels."
