Sudan protesters accept Ethiopia plan for political transition
[Al Jazeera] Protest leaders in Sudan said on Saturday they have accepted the creation of a civilian-majority governing body for a political transition in the country, as proposed by an Æthiopian envoy.The compromise blueprint suggests the creation of a 15-member governing body - comprising eight civilians and seven members of the military - that would install a civilian administration, according to AFP news agency. "We think that our acceptance of the proposal is a major leap towards meeting the goals of the revolution, which are freedom, peace and justice," protest leader Babiker Faisal told news hounds in a statement, AFP reported. "It will put the country on the right track to create the transitional period that would usher in sustainable democracy." The ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC) has yet to give its decision on the Æthiopian proposal. Posted by: Fred 2019-06-24 |
