Sudan s army spokesman told Reuters the move was nothing to do with politics but was part of an annual review of senior posts, promoting officers to replace commanders who had reached retirement age. President Omar Hassan al-Bashir removed five generals, including the deputy chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the armed services Gen. Mohammed Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf, blacklisted by Washington for his role as the army’s head of military intelligence and security during the Darfur conflict. Auf is included on Washington’s list of Specially Designated Nationals which freezes any of their assets in the States and blocks US nationals from doing business with them. Sudan is also facing UN sanctions over the seven-year Darfur conflict.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Bashir and two other men to face war crimes charges in region. Khartoum has refused to deal with the court. Sudan’s state news agency Suna, which announced the army changes, described Bashir as the supreme leader of all the armed services, a title which he had dropped in the run up to his victory in April elections. Suna said Bashir had appointed Ismat Abdel Rahman Zein al-Abdin as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff replacing Mohamed Abdul-Gadir Nasruddin. It also announced replacements for the other retiring officers.
