A law has been passed in Sudan dissolving the party of ousted former president Omar al-Bashir. Mr Bashir seized power in a 1989 coup and ruled for almost three decades, until he was overthrown by a protest movement in April. The country's transitional authorities also repealed a public order law that was used to police women's behaviour. Both measures responded to key demands of the protest movement, which aims to dismantle Mr Bashir's regime. Sudan is currently led by a joint military and civilian council, as well as a civilian-led cabinet headed by Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
