Sudan’s military council has announced plans to resume talks with protest leaders, paving the way for the two sides to iron out differences over an interim body to steer the country towards democratic elections.
In a statement, the Transitional Military Council, TMC said negotiations with the Alliance for Freedom and Change will resume on today Sunday.
The two sides have been divided over the composition of a transitional authority that will rule the country following the military’s toppling of longtime President Omar al-Bashir in the face of mass protests on April 11th.
Both want majority representation on the sovereign council, which would operate as the top tier of power during the planned transition period.
They had been expected to meet for negotiations over the issue by the end of this week, but the TMC suspended talks with the alliance for 72 hours early on Thursday.
