Sudan is set to form a new government on 11 April after the country’s main pro-democracy group, the Forces of Freedom and Change, agreed on a timeline with General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and General Mohammed Hamdan ‘Hemeti’ Dagalo. This move marks the beginning of the country’s transition towards a civilian government, but those on the ground are weary of yet another change.

The Sudan Tribune reports that a final agreement will be signed on 1 April to formalise the deal.

This will be drafted by an 11 member-committee that will be formed by nine citizens and one representative from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and another of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
A transitional constitution will be agreed upon on 6 April, while the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) have already begun discussions on who will be the potential prime minister.
