 Sudanese protest leaders and protesters welcomed the Sudan’s ruling military junta agreement to a power-sharing arrangement and road-map to civilian rule.

 Hundreds of people celebrated on the streets of Khartoum after the Transitional Military Council and the Declaration of Freedom and Change announced the deal. 

 "Today, our revolution has won and our victory shines," the Sudanese Professionals Association said in a Facebook statement.

 Military deputy chief Himedti said “this deal will be comprehensive and will not exclude anyone and will meet the ambitions of the Sudanese people and their victorious revolution.”
