KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudan’s ruling military council is meeting with protesters on Sunday to discuss the country’s political transition after talks were halted for three days while roads were cleared outside the main sit-in in the capital, Khartoum. The military council had called for the roads outside the sit-in in front of the military’s headquarters in Khartoum to be opened. The generals and the protesters remain divided on what role the military should have in the transition to civilian rule. Sunday’s talks are expected to focus on the makeup of the sovereign council, which would guide the nation through the transition. The Forces for the Declaration of Freedom and Change said it insists on “limited military representation” in a sovereign council led by civilians.
