CAIRO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th April, 2019) Sudan's military council chief Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan on Wednesday ordered the nation's central bank to audit suspicious transactions for clues to potential fraud, state media said.

The bank will review financial transfers made since April 1, according to the SUNA news agency.

It has also been authorized to seize any suspicious funds and freeze transfer of shares until further notice.

The military deposed longtime President Omar Bashir last Thursday and reportedly transferred him to prison earlier on Wednesday after months of anti-government protests.

Burhan promised that the military council would oversee transition to civilian rule in two years' time.
