Abdel Fattah al-Burhan Abdelrahman al-Burhan (Arabic: عَبد الْفَتَّاح الْبُرْهَان عَبد الرَّحْمَن الْبُرْهَان, ʿAbd al-Fattāḥ al-Burhān ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Burhān; born 1960) is a Sudanese army general who has been the de facto leader of Sudan since 2019. Following the Sudanese Revolution in April 2019, he was handed control of the military junta, the Transitional Military Council, a day after it was formed, due to protesters' dissatisfaction with the establishment ties of initial leader Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf. He served as chairman of the TMC until a draft constitutional declaration signed with civilians went into effect on 17 August and a collective head of state Transitional Sovereignty Council was formed on 21 August, also to be initially headed by al-Burhan.
