Sudan's military leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, issued a decree on Monday freezing the activities of workers and employers unions, according to a statement by the ruling sovereign council he heads.
In a following decree he ordered the formation of a committee that will review the balances and accounts of these unions inside Sudan and abroad to place them under control.
