Sudan's Military Council to Present Transition Vision on Monday

Sudan's military council said on Sunday that it would publish its views for the country's transitional period on Monday.

The ruling military council agreed on some of the points in a draft constitutional document presented by an opposition alliance last week but disagreed on others, a spokesman for the council, General Shams El Din Kabbashi, said in a televised press conference.

Kabbashi said the opposition's document was "good" and that negotiations would continue.

Meanwhile, a Sudanese protester has died after being shot during clashes with security forces at a sit-in in the western Darfur region.

The Sudan Doctors Committee, one of the groups behind nationwide protests that drove President Omar al-Bashir from power last month, said Saad Mohammed Ahmed, 18, was shot Saturday when security forces tried to forcibly disperse a sit-in outside a military facility in Nyala. He died Sunday.

Maj. Gen. Hashim Mahmoud, the governor of south Darfur province, said around 5,000 people marched to the facility from a nearby displaced persons camp, and that security forces used tear gas to try and disperse them.
