3 members of Sudan’s military council resign as deal reached with protestors

Three members of Sudan’s ruling military council have resigned after it said that an agreement “on most demands” was reached with protest leaders who have called for a million-strong march to demand a civilian government. The 10-member military council had invited the protest leaders for a meeting after the leaders suspended talks with the army rulers on Sunday, AFP said. “We have an agreement on most demands presented in the document of the Alliance for Freedom and Change,” said Lieutenant General Shamseddine Kabbashi, spokesman of the ruling military council. Developments came late on Wednesday night as Siddiq Farouk, one of the leaders of the protests, said that the demonstrators were “preparing for a general strike.”
