Sudan: No Final Agreement Yet Between Sudan Junta and Opposition

Khartoum — Differences of opinion between Sudan's ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC) and the opposition Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC - formerly known as Alliance for Freedom and Change) have made it impossible to reach a written agreement on a transitional period. It is not clear when the document is to be signed.

Among the main points of disagreement are the "absolute immunity" that the TMC wants to be granted to the members of the TMC throughout the three-year transitional period, the status of the Rapid Support Forces, Sudan's main militia, and its annexation or integration into the army, the powers of the Sovereign Council, and the independent investigation into the massacre at the sit-in in Khartoum on June 3 under the supervision of the African Union.
