General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the interim leader of Sudan who on Tuesday announced elections would be held after nine months was largely unknown until mid April.
"Veteran soldier" Burhan was sworn in as Sudan's second interim leader after long-time president Omar al-Bashir was overthrown by the army in April, in response to months of protests.
