SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - Sudan's military and opposition agree on transitional power structure

13/5/19: Reuters - Sudan’s military and opposition agree on transitional power structure, by Nadine Awadalla

 Reuters reports that Sudan’s military council and opposition groups said they had agreed on Monday to a power structure for the country’s transition, although they have yet to decide how long it will last or the make-up of transitional bodies.

 The military-civilian balance of power and the length of the transition have been key sticking points in talks between the council and an alliance of protest and opposition groups since former President Omar Al Bashir was ousted on April 11.

Those points will be addressed on Tuesday, according to Transitional Military Council (TMC) spokesman Lieutenant General Shams El Din Kabbashi and Taha Osman Ishaq, a spokesman for the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces opposition alliance.
