On Saturday, a delegation of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North under the leadership of Malik Agar (SPLM-N Agar) arrived in Khartoum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The delegation was received by representatives of the Alliance of Freedom and Change and the Sudan Call (a coalition of armed movements, opposition parties, and civil society organisations).<\/p>\n

Mubarak Ardol, leader of the delegation and spokesman for the movement, told reporters after his arrival in in the country that a leadership delegation of the SPLM-N Agar will travel to Khartoum within 10 days.<\/p>\n

The delegation will be headed SPLM-N Agar Deputy Chairman Yasir Arman and Secretary-General Ismail Khamis.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Saturday, the movement called on the Transitional Military Council (TMC) to lift the death sentences<\/a> against its leaders including Agar and Arman.<\/p>\n

The movement further urged the military junta to release all rebel fighters captured in Darfur, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile state as a “gesture of goodwill”.<\/p>\n

The statement as well announced that Yasir Arman will arrive in Khartoum after ten days “to discuss all issues with the TMC and the movement's allies within Sudan”.<\/p>\n

The TMC seized power on April 11<\/a> by means of a coup, overthrowing President Omar Al Bashir, who himself seized power in a coup in 1989. The Sudanese protesters who demanded the ouster of Al Bashir and his regime, continue demonstrating and holding sit-ins in various state capitals in the country.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people are still protesting in front of the General Command of the Sudanese army in downtown Khartoum, demanding the TMC to hand power to a Transitional Civil Authority.<\/p>\n

Negotiations<\/a> between the TMC and representatives of the Alliance of Freedom and Change, the driving force behind the protests, about a new government were supposed to resume today. Yet, no news has reached Radio Dabanga so far.<\/p>\n

On April 23, the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) granted Sudan’s Transitional Military Council (TMC), three months to hand-over power<\/a> to a transitional civilian government, or face suspension.<\/p>\n
