The military government and civil parties in Sudan have signed an agreement to return to democracy.
This was reported by the Sudanese news agency Suna on Monday in the capital Khartoum.
Among other things, the agreement provides for a two-year transition phase until elections are held.
According to the exile radio station Radio Dabanga, this is a preliminary agreement that excludes sensitive and crucial issues such as justice and security from further negotiations.
The agreement provides for the appointment of a civilian prime minister to lead the country to elections.
The agreement reached through mediation by the UN, the African Union (AU) and the regional federation of states IGAD was signed by the civil alliance "Forces for Freedom and Change" (FFC-CC), among others.
The alliance was involved in a civilian-military government that the military overthrew in October 2021.
Numerous parties and groups have boycotted the negotiations because they reject talks with the military.
You have called for protests against the agreement.
In Sudan, the population has been demonstrating for years to democratize the country.
Initially, this led to the overthrow of long-term ruler Omar al-Bashir by the army in 2019 and fueled hopes that the situation would improve.
But after the ousting of the government made up of civilians and members of the army, the military used violence again and again.
According to the medical association CCSD, more than 120 people were killed in the crackdown on the protests.
According to Radio Dabanga, FFC spokesman Al-Wathik Al-Barir said the agreement would end the post-coup era and restore law and order.
The military is also being reformed.
