He was appointed to the post by the country's president, Omar al-Bashir, replacing Bakri Hassan Saleh, following the government's dissolution. The dissolution of the government was brought about due to recent shortages of bread, fuel, and hard currency.[3][4] In February 2019, President Bashir dismissed Moussa's government, in the wake of protests against his rule.[5] In addition to prime ministership, Moussa hold the office of Minister of Finance.
