Signing of political agreement in Sudan delayed due to 'outstanding issues' -statement

The signing of a final political agreement in Sudan was delayed due to a lack of "consensus on some outstanding issues", the spokesperson of the negotiation process said early on Saturday in a statement. The final accord to name a civilian government this month and launch a new transition towards elections was originally to be signed on Saturday.

Disagreements surfaced this week over the timeline for integrating the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) into the military, a move called for in a framework deal for the new transition signed in December.
