Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok will review military appointments and dismissals to key state positions, according to the cabinet’s General Secretariat.

Sudan’s military rulers drew on veteran ex-officials of ousted leader Omar al-Bashir for key positions in the state bureaucracy after seizing power on October 25.

Hamdok, who was arrested during the coup and then reinstated under a deal reached with the military on Sunday, issued a directive freezing all hiring and firing in state jobs.

“In addition, all appointments and dismissals made in the previous period will be studied, evaluated, and reviewed,” the secretariat stated.
