Sudan's Ibn Auf Steps Down As Head of Military Council

  •  World

The head of Sudan's ruling military council has resigned in a speech broadcast live on state television, naming Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Burhan as his successor, Aljazeera reports. 

The announcement by General Awad Ibn Auf came late on Friday as tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, demanding a civilian-led transition after the military overthrow of the country's longtime ruler, Omar al-Bashir. 

"I, the head of the military council, announce I am giving up the post," Ibn Auf said, just a day after he was sworn in as the head of a transitional military council.
