Kabashi added, “Talks will continue and we are optimistic on reaching a final result that we can announce to the Sudanese people as soon as possible”.
The TMC has reported late on Wednesday three members of Sudanese ruling military body have stepped down amid tensions escalation with the opposition (civilians) demanding their resignation as they both sides have been at loggerheads over how much time will the TMC take to hand over power to the transitional civilian council.
