Sudan Protesters And The Army Sign A Three Year Power Sharing Agreement After Which Elections Will Be Held

Al Jazeera: Sudan's ruling generals, protest leaders sign power-sharing deal

After series of delays, two sides sign accord creating governing body with talks ongoing for constitutional declaration.

Sudan's ruling generals and an alliance of opposition groups signed an accord on Wednesday creating a transitional power-sharing body after weeks of negotiations and deadly protests.

The deal is aimed at breaking the political deadlock that has gripped the country since the toppling of President Omar al-Bashir in April.

The two sides signed the document after intense overnight talks in the capital, Khartoum, over the details of an agreement reached earlier this month to establish a joint military-civilian sovereign council that will rule the country by rotation.

The 22-clause accord, seen by Al Jazeera, said the 11-member governing body will rule the country for just over three years, after which elections will be held.
