epa00918172 Sudanese Kamil Idris (L) general director of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), speaks next to Christoph Blocher (R) Swiss Minister of Justice and Police, during the opening session of the third Global Congress on combating counterfeit and piracy in Geneva, Switzerland, Tuesday, January 30, 2007. The Global Congress has become a international key forum for shaping practical strategies to meet the challenges posed by the worldwide trade in counterfeit and pirated products that threatens economic development, consumers health and safety. EPA/LAURENT GILLIERON SUNA did not specify when a new government, the first since war broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, would be announced.
Idris was appointed by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan's head of state. The RSF has said since earlier this year that it would form its own parallel government with allied parties.
Idris took the oath of office on Saturday as the country's first prime minister since a military-led coup in 2021.
In a speech on Sunday, he vowed to remain at equal distance from all political parties and to prioritize stability, security, and reconstruction in Sudan.
