A timetable for the formation of the Council of Ministers and sovereignty in Sudan .. These are the tasks of the transitional period

"The technical committee to draft the constitutional declaration document will end the drafting of the document on Saturday and it will be signed within the next 48 hours," said Madani Abbas, a leader of the Sudan Freedom and Change Forces.

At a press conference held by the forces after agreeing with the military council on the document, Madani said a timetable would be set out detailing the dates for the formation of the sovereign council, the cabinet and other transitional bodies.

For her part, the member of the technical committee on the forces of change, Ibtisam Senhuri, stressed that the tasks of the transitional period will focus on achieving peace and the abolition of laws restricting freedoms and accountability of members of the old regime, as well as the consolidation of the rule of law and the implementation of economic reform.

Senhuri also stressed that the task of reforming the armed forces will be assigned to the armed forces according to the law, and said that the powers of the President of the Republic in the executive formula will be the Prime Minister.

Regarding the role of the Legislative Council, it said that it will consist of the percentages approved by the parties yesterday at 67% for the forces of change and 33% in consultation with the Council of Sovereignty.

The mediator of the African Union to Sudan, Mohamed Hassan Labat announced at a press conference Saturday morning that the Transitional Military Council and the opposition agreed on a constitutional document paving the way for the formation of a transitional government.

The agreement, which outlines the powers and relationship of the transitional government, follows weeks of protracted negotiations brokered by the African Union and Ethiopia amid sporadic violence in Khartoum and other cities.

"The delegation of freedom and change and the Transitional Military Council met this evening to continue their work on the constitutional document," he told Sudanese, national, international and African public opinion that the two delegations had fully agreed on the constitutional document.

He added that the two sides "continue their meetings this evening for the technical arrangements for the organization of the official signing ceremony" on the document Sunday evening.

There were two major differences between the two sides: the role of the General Intelligence Service and the Rapid Support Forces, the strongest paramilitary force in the country.

The draft constitutional document seen by Reuters indicated that the General Intelligence Service would be under the supervision of the Council of Sovereignty and the Council of Ministers, and that the rapid support forces would follow the commander-in-chief of the armed forces during the transitional period.
