it will be defining the roles of the sovereign council and will be defining the roles of the executive council we already know from the agreement just signed a few minutes ago in the capital one of them that the 2 sides will be having 5 members each in the sovereign council which effectively will be the presidency and the forces of freedom and change will keep them out of the walls of the members of the executive council but what the rules of these 2 councils will be is going to be defined in that constitutional declaration which is get to be signed is also the issue of immunity now the transitional military council has asked for immunity for the members of the sovereign council and the executive council that's something that the opposition coalition does not want because they largely represent the protests on the streets and the protesters are demanding accountability and justice so if they give in to that demand there are concerns amongst the opposition coalition that they will lose their support as industries that something they don't want it's also the issue of who is eligible to be in the

the country and there will be members nominated from the forces of freedom and change to the executive council which will be made up of ministers but it doesn't say how this a transitional government will be run it doesn't explain what rules the sovereign council and the executive council that have now that will be there defined in the constitutional declaration which according to the envoy will be signed on friday afternoon and what's ok now that the core of that deal that this parish sharing deal between the military and the opposition movement it really does lie in that 2nd document does it not that constitutional declaration what more can you tell us about this. well yes indeed now the constitution erosion is going to be the core of the transitional agreement it's going to state exactly what role is sovereign council it's going to have a role it's in terms of nominees ok but i'm sorry to cut you off where we do understand that they are speaking to us live from khartoum let's have a listen in kentucky as i looked this up in the signing of the game and it is a huge team amassing representing

as for the role of the executive council in this particular aspect, i will enhance the role of executives of the executive council, so that they also shoulder the important responsibility in gauging public opinions and reflecting those opinions to me. the second concrete measure is we will reform the existing consultative machinery, which basically comprises large numbers of consultative advisory committees, with members appointed by the government into these committees to offer us advice. i feel that we need to be these committees to offer us advice. ifeel that we need to be more innovative. in other words, sometimes we may not need a formal committee. we should build more open platforms to facilitate dialogues in a very frank exchange manner, and to make sure that whoeverjoins the committees or these dialogues comes from different backgrounds, so they are not homogeneous, of one group. they should come from a more diverse background, so we can receive views from a wider spectrum of society. 0ne from a wider spectrum of society. one of the important committees that will undergo, i would

period and then the enforcers of freedom and change will be the ones nominated members of the executive council which it doesn't discuss however is the role of these 2 council that is up to the constitutional declaration which as we heard from the envoy and from others will be signed on friday afternoon. and we're still expecting that that to go ahead spreads should that go ahead as planned the signing of this constitutional declaration i'm not sure they will be a very significant moment given the level of upheaval we have seen in sit on over the past few months. yes indeed that will be the significant moment perhaps more significant event today's moment because it will be defining the rules of those 2 councils there you have to figure out what the supreme council will do what it's meant what its mandate is how much how much power is how and also has to the constitution look there will also be defining the role of the executive council and if the sovereign funds we can't interfere in the work of munches that that if council but the parliament if they be created 3 months after the start of the t

with the 11th member to be agreed upon by post side it also states that the majority of the executive council will be decided on by the forces of freedom and change but what the roles of these 2 councils and the legislative assembly which will be formed 3 months after the transitional period is starting 3 months after the transition period starts is something that is yet to be discussed the e.u. envoy and the transition military council say that that is something that they will wrap up on friday and that the final deal was signed on friday afternoon but until a bad deal is signed this deal is a landmark there still remains a lot to be talked about a lot of issues to be discussed between the 2 sides for sudan's transition to be complete. well let's take a look at how we've got here after months of protests against has ruled the military removed president omar al bashir in a coup on april 11th the generals then set up a transitional council while a mass certain continued outside the army headquarters to protest leaders held talks with the hunter they agreed on a 3 year transition period to demo

the members of the executive council but what the role of these 2 councils will be is going to be defined in that constitutional declaration which is yet to be signed let's bring in one lead madiba he's the founder and president of sudan policy forum and joins us live here in the studio so what do you make of this deal signed today. and how important is it in terms of sudan's path to democracy thank you i i think it is quite an achievement you know after a few months few months of. transition in military council trying to avoid me is striking any deal now would be the feel very much obligated at least politically to me. a concession. and i question the extent to which they have given in too much to the demands of the forces of freedom and team because even though the forces of freedom and king are trying to appease the masses by saying that there is no immunity for or whoever took part in. the massacre of june fair. no one is bringing. attention to the at least 302300000 individuals killed in that for so the it is a very very good agreement i think they both wanted to reach for an agreeme

period it will be leading up for the civilians as well as well as who will be the members of the executive council but then some of the most important thing that has to get a grip on is the role of those 2 councils what the sovereign council is built to what they could have done so to speak to do that is something that is still under discussion are if we don't change have some of their members currently right now here and so i just about we're trying to make sure that the armed groups are also are backing up this agreement because it says that the 1st 6 months have to be dictated to peace in the country and conflicts in several parts of the country so a lot of things to be discussed lots of issues to be talked about where to find the silence that where they sign the final document which would mark the beginning of the transitional period or i have a morgan they're going stuff in there let's continue the discussion here in the studio because i'm joined here by slidin is a man analyst an expert on sudanese political affairs good to have you with us so thank you for what is the start of a new democra

is in all of the executive council is and what's behind it where it was it is it's also made by the rules of the legislative assembly which will be formed 3 months the government is on so that duck on just under discussion with its sides will be great crucial it's going to look like it is transitional period. or that this toxic lapse if they do not manage to meet on that document. it will be oh but it was. maybe it's almost 0.8 by the rule of that council of that exhibit and it's their hearts wouldn't be ridge it's also the issue of trying to figure out if. you don't work right now in us if we didn't change our meet our group members it's time to eat ribs are also what we've. already expressed that they're not happy about the signature of this mission it means that they're saying that as the days go by and friday and by friday it will be able to do and. the transitional government will be all right to hit morgan there in the ethiopian capital heba thank you the world health organization is meeting in geneva to decide if an ebola outbreak in the eastern democratic republic of congo is an i

and the sovereign council and if that's constitutional document says that the power lies in the executive authority in the body of the council of ministers effectively and not in the sovereign council then it will be civilian and it seems that it will be able to use the protesters but at the moment this deal is not yet complete and we're going to have to wait until the constitution the curation assigned to see how protesters react. have a move in there thanks so much. let's take a look now at how we got here last the months of protests against his rule the military removed president armored bashir in a coup on april the 11th the generals then set up a transitional council while a mass sit in continued outside army headquarters protest leaders held talks with the jointer they agreed on a 3 year transition period to democracy but talks soon broke down over who would lead the joint government the military wanted a soldier to be in charge protesters demanded it be led by civilians june the 3rd security forces raided the protest camp outside army headquarters killing more than 100 people all c

transitional period it's a beach the document that will be all of the supreme council and the executive council and that's something that the 2 sides say they will need to talk on and that they took me on but that's not the only issue that is right now so it's exciting as it was before specifically to change. it and if you. look at this it's like they're saying that's what's happened instead it seems the armed groups here are saying that it's absolutely signed this law does not represent a state that is not siding with its deeds and that if it falls the freedom to cheat one might actually it's great to get there. to back down from this defeat and actually. get the stuff out surely that does not represent the whole of stamps so while some people in the country are are celebrating this agreement as it's i missed this one and others are not exactly pristine and there will be a last chance transition. thank you very much for that heather morgan live n. addison let's take another look at how we got to this point after months of protests against his vote the military removed president almihdhar shade

they had governor's counsel or executive council. most of the first cabinet members had experience in those councils one way or another. they had been governor or a member of one of the council. they kind of thought they were -- they felt they eliminated executive authority. they were a tool the legislative ord to control the governor executive. that was a system they were looking to not replicate in the new federal government. finally, the british cabinet. the cabinet -- the word cabinet, is from the british government. most americans were familiar with it. they blamed diminished -- the british ministers for instigating the conflict behind the revolutionary war. one of the first cabinet members never wrote this down, i believe it was always something on their mind. they knew there was a possibility they might be compared to it. i cannot say that definitively, but i believe it strongly. all of these origins shaped much more than washington's perspective on the cabinet. they shaped politics, culture, and society in the early republic.
