KHARTOUM, May 18 (Xinhua) -- Sudan's Transitional Military Council (TMC) on Saturday announced that they will resume talks with the major opposition forces on Sunday.
"The TMC announces resumption of the negotiation with the Freedom and Change Alliance on Sunday," said the TMC in a statement.
On May 16, the TMC announced suspension of talks with the major opposition forces for 72 hours.
The council set conditions for resuming the negotiation, including removing the barricades put by protesters outside their sit-in area, opening the railway line, and stopping media escalation as well as harassment against regular forces.
The TMC and the opposition Freedom and Change Alliance have recently agreed on powers of the sovereignty council, the council of ministers and the legislative council.
The two sides have also agreed that the transitional period will last three years, with the first six months for achieving peace all over Sudan.
They further agreed that the legislative council is to be comprised of 300 members, 67 percent of whom will come from the Freedom and Change Alliance.
The TMC is tasked with running the country's affairs following the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir.
