Sudan closer to government transition as protests calm down

The spokesman for Sudan's military council said on Monday that the structure of transitional bodies had been agreed with opposition groups and their make-up would be addressed in further talks a day later.

"We discussed the structure of the transitional authority and agreed on it completely, and we also agreed on the system of governance in the transitional period," said Lieutenant General Shams El Din Kabbashi, the spokesman for the Transitional Military Council (TMC).
