the agreement is expected to be signed in days it will start a 3 year period of transitional rule leading to elections during that time power will rotate between a military and civilian leader with a cabinet of technocrats to manage the country details remain to be finalized but sudanese are hopeful vision he thought i know what we have very happy and we couldn't stand her and everyone is in the streets to express their happiness with the agreement we hope it will be a civil state forever and that people didn't die for nothing to shylock for the mistake that. we hope that everyone will work together to get the country out of hardship. and we hope that those who cause deaths will be immediately held accountable that's one of the i mean the celebrations some hold the last images of those who lost their lives in the struggle more the. 100 people are believed to

have died in crackdowns against protesters according to doctors several soldiers have now been detained over the recent deaths of 6 demonstrators giving sudanese hope for justice and peace. the reporter for him is with me in the studio now you were in sudan when the protests 1st started a while back and you've been following these developments so is this agreement a significant step forward in resolving this political crisis in sudan it's of the very least a necessary step for any hope of this political crisis coming to an end in the near future the this is the constitutional declaration this is the defacto 2nd part of the power sharing agreement between the forces of freedom and change which is a coalition of opposition groups and military leaders this is the 2nd part that was signed back in mid july and it outlined the sort of general terms of the

transitional period that it would be 3 years that there would be a sovereign council with leadership that would rotate between military and civilians and now this this this constitutional declaration is significant because it gives more detail it also tries to address the rapid support forces this paramilitary group that has allegedly been terrorizing civilians on the streets of close to him since the removal of on one of bashir back in april and now they will be falling under the military command although there are some suspicions of how much this would bring them in since they were always officially under the command of the military and whether they would stop acting like a private militia essentially and we've heard a lot of these announcements happening sense the military transitional council took over is this one any different from these earlier ones that were also cast as these big historic announcements correct so i mean you know the military has been in negotiations with civilians essentially since april and there were many moments

where they would come out and said they. cristian agreement has been these agreements went to fall apart of the very last minute before signing or violence would would would come in the way the significant thing about these 2 agreements so to speak or this 2 part agreement is that it's mediated by the african union there is this general sense from the people i've spoken to that there's there's a frustration with the fact that the country has been at a political standstill essentially since december not even april when i met him bashir was was removed i think though that the real victory would be what would happen after this transitional period the fact that it's 3 years is a huge win for the opposition they wanted it to be that long to extract the deep state of ahmed bashir. so much. now to some of the other stories making news around the world emergency workers in northwest england are racing to shore up a leaking dam which is in danger of collapse forecasters are warning more bad weather is on the way the dam was damaged last week after heavy rain sent torrents
