Burhan and Hemeti keep a tight hold on power in Khartoum

Now in total control, General Burhan and his deputy "Hemeti" form a duo that is holding together the regime currently in charge of Sudan. On paper, they have nothing in common. Burhan is a career soldier, while Hemeti is a militiaman turned politician. Yet, they have now been in power together for over two years. Africa Intelligence has been investigating the workings of a relationship in which the slightest blip could result in Sudan going off the rails.

Paris and Djibouti set to renew defence deal amid regional turmoil

French Armed Forces Minister Florence Parly is due to travel to Djibouti on 21 November to discuss renewing the 10-year agreement that allows France to station troops there.

Erdogan waits in wings following Burhan's coup

Turkey, the main partner of Omar al-Bashir's regime, lost its influence in Sudan when power fell into the hands of civilians in 2019. Despite Ankara not being as well connected to General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who took power on 25 October, as Egypt and the Emirates, Recep Tayyip Erdogan's regime nevertheless hopes that the breakdown of relations with Europe and the US will lead to a restoration of close ties with Khartoum.
