CAIRO (Sputnik) - Sudanese President Omar Bashir has reshuffled his cabinet, appointing at least 15 new ministers, SUNA news agency reported on Wednesday.

According to Sudanese news agency SUNA, Sudan's Foreign Minister El-Dirdeiry Mohamed Ahmed will keep his post.

In late February, Bashir dissolved the central government, dismissed the heads of all the provinces and declared a state of emergency in the country amid anti-government protests, which have been raging in the country since mid-December following price increase and essential goods shortages.

At least 30 people have been killed and 200 others have been injured as a result of the unrest, according to various sources.
