A political storm erupted in Khartoum after General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s junta government’s member Salma Abdel Jabbar forced the dismissal of the city’s Land Director.
The move followed his refusal to approve a plot of land for Abdel Jabbar, citing a governor’s formal written directive.
Documents obtained by Al-Sayha reveal that the Minister of Urban Planning’s office issued the dismissal order to the Land Authority.
Sources indicate Abdel Jabbar personally threatened the director, pressuring him before the official suspension was enforced the following day.
The incident exposes growing concerns over corruption within Burhan’s junta government, where officials appear to manipulate public authority for personal gain.
Critics argue the episode reflects a broader pattern of abuse by high-ranking figures undermining legal procedures and public trust.
Observers say such arbitrary interventions in civil service duties risk eroding institutional integrity and entrenching a culture of impunity.
No immediate response came from the Khartoum Land Authority, leaving questions about accountability and adherence to governance norms unanswered.
