| 2019-06-12 |
| [Al Jazeera] Protest leaders in Sudan have agreed to suspend a civil disobedience campaign launched after a bloody crackdown on demonstrators and resume negotiations with the country's ruling generals on the formation of a transitional sovereign council, an Æthiopian envoy has said. Speaking to news hounds in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, Mahmoud Drir said the Transitional Military Council (TMC) had also agreed to release political prisoners as a goodwill gesture, without giving details. "The Freedom and Change alliance agreed to end the civil disobedience (campaign) from today," said Drir, who has been mediating since a visit by Æthiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed last week. "Both sides have also agreed to resume talks soon" on a handover of power to a civilian administration, he added. |
