Burhan has a long-standing military career, with positions as former commander of Sudan's ground forces and inspector general of the army.

Khartoum - Military Lieutenant-General Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan has been sworn in as Sudan's new leader, state news agency SUNA said on Wednesday.

Burhan, who chaired the TMC after former president Omar al-Bashir was ousted in an April military coup, has a long-standing military career, with positions as former commander of Sudan's ground forces and inspector general of the army. A civilian will take over from Burhan for the remaining 18 months until 2022, when democratic elections are due.

A spokesman for the TMC announced the names of the members of the council in a televised address late Tuesday.
