The head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, on Monday relieved the Director General of the Police Forces, Anan Hamed Mohamed Omar, from his post, and appointed Khaled Hassan Mohieldin in his place.
The Sudanese army said in a statement that Al-Burhan issued "today a decision relieving human rights police Lieutenant General Anan Hamid Muhammad Omar from his position as Director General of the Police Forces, and assigning Human Rights Police Lieutenant General Khaled Hassan Mohiuddin the duties of Director General of the Police Forces."
Since the outbreak of clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in mid-April, the citizens of the capital, Khartoum, have complained about the "remarkable absence" of the police and its lack of intervention to resolve security chaos, criminal activity, and the protection of civilians in markets and residential neighborhoods.
On April 30, the Rapid Support Forces warned, in a statement, the Sudanese police chiefs against "engaging in the ongoing battles" after the Sudanese Ministry of Interior decided to deploy police forces on the roads to secure property for the first time since the clashes broke out.
