The US, UK, EU, Norway and Switzerland slammed military coup leader Abdulfattah al-Burhan’s latest move to tighten the military’s grip on power, appointing a new Sovereign Council, as a decision that undermines efforts to restore the democratic transition.

The western states criticised al-Burhan for failing to consult Sudan’s pro-democracy movement and violating the Constitutional Declaration that governed the transitional period.
