TEHRAN, Apr 27 - Sudan’s opposition alliance and ruling military council said after talks on Saturday that they expected to agree on the formation of a new body to lead the country’s transition from 30 years of autocratic rule by Omar al-Bashir.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Sudan’s Transitional Military Council (TMC) ousted and arrested former Bashir on April 11 following months of protests, saying it would rule for up to two years ahead of elections.
Anti-Bashir opposition groups and protesters who have kept up a sit-in outside the defense ministry want a civilian-led transitional council with military representation.
Under an umbrella group known as the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces, they met the TMC on Saturday to try to resolve the standoff.
“Today we have taken positive steps and we expect to reach an agreement satisfactory to all parties,” said Ayman Nimir, an opposition negotiator.
“We expect to receive a response from the military council regarding the formation of a sovereign council within hours.”
A TMC spokesman, Shams El Din Kabbashi, also said the talks had gone well.
