Reuters reports that Himedti, the deputy leader of the ruling military council, told Egyptian state newspaper Al Ahram that Sudan’s military wants to hand power to a democratically elected government as soon as possible.

“We got tired. We want to hand over power today not tomorrow,” Himedti said, adding that “members of the military council are not politicians and we are waiting for the government to be formed.”

 Himedti also claimed that 25 former regime figures have been arrested and files are being prepared for their charges.
