Who is Ibrahim Ghandour, a dentist who was relieved from the presidency of the Sudanese Foreign Ministry?
Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour remained in power until he was sacked on Thursday evening by leading NDP leaders and close associates of President Omar al-Bashir.
Ghandour has led Sudan's foreign ministry since he was appointed to head it in mid-2015, despite his medical background.
Most of his political experience came from the National Party, which headed a number of its secretariats, including the Information Secretariat and the Secretariat for Foreign Relations.

Ghandour was born in Sudan's White Nile State in 1952 and graduated in 1977 from the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Khartoum.
He received his master's degree in dentistry from the University of London in 1982. He continued to work in his field of specialization in Sudanese universities until he became dean of Al-Razi Dental College.
Ghandour is drawn to political action from union work, from student ties during the study period to the chairmanship of the General Union of Sudanese Dentists and the Union of Arab Dentists.
He also served as Secretary-General and then President of the Union of Trade Unions of Sudan for two decades and President of the Union of Trade Unions of East Africa, as well as the presidency of the African Workers' Union.
Ghandour was elected to the Sudanese National Assembly (parliament) for two sessions.
In December 2013, he was appointed as Assistant to the President of the Republic, before being appointed Foreign Minister in the ministerial reshuffle by Bashir in June 2015.
Ghandour told the Sudanese delegation to negotiate with the United States on lifting the sanctions it had imposed on Khartoum since the late 1990s.
The United States last October lifted economic and trade sanctions imposed on Khartoum for more than 20 years, but Washington did not name Sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, although US officials indicated Sudan had made progress in counterterrorism efforts And human rights issues.
Sudan's official news agency, quoted in a brief statement on the Republican decision, did not mention the reasons for the dismissal of the foreign minister, but many reports attributed the reasons to statements made by Ghandour, which it described as a rare acknowledgment by a senior Sudanese official of the Sudanese government's financial crisis.
Ghandour had asked Parliament on Wednesday to help him pay the dues of diplomatic missions and salaries of Sudanese diplomats abroad more than seven months in arrears, which amounted to thirty million dollars.
