An informed Sudanese ministerial source said that Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok will hold a meeting on Sunday evening with the Chairman of the Sovereign Council, Lieutenant-General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and all members of the military component of the council.
The source explained that the meeting comes to discuss the political situation, including the difference of views between the civilian and military components on a number of issues, as he put it.
Hamdok and a number of ministers had earlier held a meeting with the President of the Sovereignty Council to discuss these issues.
Tensions have escalated between the civilian and military components recently, amid the exchange of accusations over responsibility for the deteriorating living conditions in the country.
Cabinet Affairs Minister Khaled Omar Youssef said on Saturday that the closure of eastern Sudan had stifled the country.
Youssef accused parties within the authority "with coup tendencies" of seeking to exploit the Sudanese crisis to prepare the street to accept a coup, adding that any coup operation will be confronted.
For his part, Sudanese Minister of Industry Ibrahim Al-Sheikh said - in a statement to Al Jazeera - that the civilian component's assumption of the presidency of the Sovereignty Council will begin next month, noting that the commitment to the date of handing over the presidency of the Sovereign Council to civilians expresses respect for the constitutional document and commitment to the rule of law.
