General Intelligence Service (Sudan)
Sudanese federal agency / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The General Intelligence Service[2][3][4] or Directorate of General Intelligence Service[5] is the intelligence service of the federal government of Sudan, created in July 2019 from the former National Intelligence and Security Service (Arabic: جهاز الأمن والمخابرات الوطني السوداني, Jihaaz Al Amn Wal Mukhaabaraat Al Watani, NISS) by the Transitional Military Council during the Sudanese Revolution[2] in response to demands from protestors to close down NISS because of its role in repression.[6][4]
For security services that have names like the Sudanese service's pre-2019 name, see National Intelligence and Security Service (disambiguation).
