A thread on our report detailing the return of the NCP to power 3ayin.com/en/ncp-returns/ #SudanCoup

Burhan promoted Lt.-Col. Mudathir Osman (red arrow) as his office secretary in the army headquarters – the son-in-law of the fugitive Islamist leader, Ali Karti.

Burhan also appointed Husham Hussein (Al-Sobat), the former office manager of the NCP’s security service, as the deputy director of the General Intelligence Service. Hussein played a pivotal role in the pro-military protests that took place before the coup

While some in the judiciary have actively opposed the coup, Burhan’s appointments of two well-known Islamists and NCP members: Chief Justice Abdelaziz Fathal al-Rahman and Public Prosecutor Khalifa Ahmed Khalifa –have paved the way for the NCP’s return to politics

The head of commercial prosecution is now run by Al-Fateh Muhammad Tayfur, a former public prosecutor during Bashir’s rule who was assigned under the Darfur crimes prosecution team to dismiss countless human rights cases against the then government.

Prominent NCP members and Islamists, Yasser Abdel Hamid and Mahmoud Mahdi Ahmed, are now reinstated as Heads of Prosecution for crimes against the state and narcotics, respectively.

According to a report by Africa Intelligence: Islamists are using the justice system to release their supporters, reclaim their property, and intimidate opponents. It is a tried and tested tactic, that Islamists used in the early 1980s and after Bashir’s coup in 1989

removing the [Dismantling] Committee was one of the main reasons that led the military to launch the coup in the first place ... security forces have detained Lt.-Col. Abdullah Suleiman, a police delegate assigned to the Dismantling Committee assigned to guard recovered assets.

The Khartoum Refinery Company, a parastatal linked to the Ministry of Petroleum, had 48 employees linked to the NCP removed during the transitional period. But according to one official working at the company, 37 had returned by late April this year.

Political analyst Khalid Mukhtar Salim says Burhan’s decision to ally with the Islamists represents the only option to curtail the revolutionary movement and the growing influence of his deputy, the Commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo ("Himmedti”)
