17/7/19: Guardian - Sudanese military and protesters sign power-sharing accord, by Zeinab Mohammed Salih and Peter Beaumont

 The Guardian’s feature piece on Sudan’s power-sharing agreement highlights mixed reactions among Sudan’s population.

 Activist Khalda Yacoub said the deal would not stop “the killing of people in [Sudan],” adding that “the members of the [ruling military council] are part of the former regime and they need to change the way they deal with people.”

 Mohamed Eissa, an engineer who moved to Khartoum from Darfur, said it is “in our best interest is to reach to a deal,” as “the idea of having a radical change is impossible,” citing the amount of weapons in Sudan which contribute to it being “very fragile.”
