Sudan’s powerful generals and opposition leaders have agreed in principle to the formation of joint civilian-military council to lead the country’s political transition. However, the two sides failed to agree on how big a role the generals would have on the new council.

 A spokesman for the Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change, Mohammad Naji Al Assam, said the point of disagreement is that the military think it should be a military council with limited civilian representation, whereas the civilians believe it should be vice versa.
