17/7/19: Multiple sources - Sudan military and civilians sign power-sharing deal
The Transitional Military Council and the Declaration of Freedom and Change coalition have finally signed a power sharing agreement, establishing an 11-member sovereign council made up of five military and civilian opposition representatives each, and a neutral member agreed on by both sides.
The sovereign council will lead the transitional phase until the elections scheduled in 3 years, with the military leading for the first 21 months and civilians for the subsequent 18 months.
Deputy Leader of the TMC Himedti described the signing as a “historic moment” for Sudan. Ibrahim Al Amin, a DFC leader, said the deal signals a new era of self-reliance for Sudan.
