Sudan's military chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has appointed 15 ministers to a new government. The move comes almost three months after he seized power in a military coup that derailed a planned transition to elections. Correspondents say the naming of a new government is unlikely to appease the protesters who want the military to quit the political scene entirely. The United States has reiterated that it will not resume economic assistance to Sudan unless there is an end to violence and a civilian-led government is restored
