31/7/19: Reuters – Sudan’s military rulers, opposition to hold transition talks within 48 hours – opposition, by Khalid Abdelaziz

 Reuters reports that negotiators from both Sudan’s military council and the main opposition coalition, the Forces of Freedom and Change, have made progress on the sticking points in discussions on the transition from military rule and are set to hold direct talks within 48 hours.

 Khalid Omar, an FFC leader, said that their lower-level technical committees isolated the key points of contention in a constitutional declaration that will set the path from military rule to a new sovereign council.

 The main delegations will meet for further discussions within 48 hours, Omar told Reuters, without giving details on what had been ironed out.
