Sudan replaces army chief

KHARTOUM: Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir replaced the head of the army on Tuesday in a further shake-up of the country’s security establishment. Kamal Abdalmarouf takes over as army chief following the removal of Emad al-Din Adawi, according to an army spokesman who also announced a series of senior appointments in the armed forces. He said the changes were routine. Earlier this month, Bashir replaced his head of security, reinstating Salah Abdallah Mohamed Saleh, also known as Salah Gosh, as head of the National Intelligence and Security Service.
