Military, civilian members of Sudan's new ruling body sworn in
KHARTOUM, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Military and civilian members of Sudan's new ruling body, the Sovereign Council, were sworn in on Wednesday at the presidential palace in Khartoum, state news agency SUNA said.
The 11-member Council replaces the now-defunct Transitional Military Council, the head of which, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, was sworn in as head of the Sovereign Council earlier on Wednesday.
One member of the Sovereign Council will be sworn in at a later date, SUNA said.
