The key challenge facing the new government is reviving the ailing economy

"We have a 200-day programme for reviving the economy in a way that could help reduce the cost of living for our people in the near term," said finance minister Ibrahim Ahmad Al-Badawi.

"We also have a long term plan to restructure the overall economy," he said, adding that the country was soon expecting new donations to help tackle some immediate challenges. According to doctors linked to the umbrella protest movement that led to Bashir's fall, more than 250 people have been killed in protest-related violence since December.

Of that at least 127 were killed in early June during a brutal crackdown on a weeks-long protest sit-in outside the military headquarters in Khartoum. Officials have given a lower death toll.
