General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, the Vice President of the transitional military council who is also a senior military leader has welcomed a power sharing agreement yesterday.
Since the dismissal of President Omar al-Bashir in April, the military council has since ruled the country and a coalition of opposition and protest groups have agreed to share power temporarily for a period of three years.
The agreement is to be finalised on Monday as it will rekindle hopes for a peaceful transition of power in a country afflicted by internal conflicts and years of economic crisis which is one of the major factors that contributed to the protest against the al-Bashir led administration.
The two sides agreed to establish a sovereign council to be led for the first 21 months by the military and for the last 18 months by civilians.
