Iran Press/Africa: The key military leader in Sudan Mohamed Hamdan "Hemeti" Dagolo has promised to abide by a power-sharing agreement with the opposition as the two sides prepared to sign the landmark deal later on Saturday.
Pro-democracy protests and violent repression gripped Sudan after long-time ruler Omar al-Bashir was ousted, Iran Press reported.
Under the new deal, a sovereign council, consisting of six civilians and five generals, will run the country until elections.
The two sides have agreed to rotate control of the council for just over three years. A prime minister nominated by civilians is due to be appointed next week.
The unrest in Sudan jacked off in December 2018, by former President Bashir's austerity measures which created vast social unrest and turned to political protests.
The protests in April resulted in the overthrow of Bashir's government by the military. But protesters didn't accept military rule over the country.
On Aug 3 Sudanese military and protesters reach full agreement on the constitutional declaration.
The agreement came after prolonged negotiations between Sudan’s ruling military council and the Alliance for Freedom and Change, which has been leading the protest movement across Sudan for months. 101/211/205
