KHARTOUM, April 1 (NNN-AGENCIES) — After four months of street protests, Sudanese President Omar al Bashir and the opposition have reached a deal to negotiate a transitional government.
However, the two opposition sides are yet to agree on the duration of the transitional government and its composition, as well as what forum will be used for negotiations.
The ruling National Congress Party (NCP) wants a two-year transitional period led by President al-Bashir but the opposition led by the Sudanese Professionals Associations (SPA) want a four-year of transition.
One of the achievements of the protests is that President al-Bashir has dropped his plans to change the constitution and contest for a third term.
However, this means that elections that were scheduled for April 2020 are now in doubt, after the parties struck a deal for a transitional government. — NNN-AGENCIES
