 Ahmed Younes and Aidarous Abdulaziz report on the TMC’s announced vision for the transitionary period, highlighting that the TMC has praised the constitutional draft put forward by the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFC).

 Younes and Abdulaziz highlight that the draft contained descriptions of the duties of a sovereign transitional council that the opposition groups hope will replace the TMC.

Spokesman for the TMC Shams El Din Kabbashi asserted that the TMC has ‘agreed on the mediation of some figures who are keen on Sudan’s security and stability’. Kabbashi also reinforced that despite the disputes, room for negotiations exists.
