US Welcomes Sudan Power-sharing Deal as 'Important Step Forward'

Reuters

   WASHINGTON - The United States on Saturday welcomed a provisional
   agreement forged by Sudan's ruling military council and a coalition of
   opposition and protest groups to share power for three years as an
   "important step forward."

   The U.S. State Department said in statement that special envoy for
   Sudan Donald Booth will return to the region soon. The agreement
   brokered by the African Union and Ethiopia Union, announced on Friday,
   is due to be finalized on Monday.

   "The agreement between the Forces for Freedom and Change and the
   Transitional Military Council to establish a sovereign council is an
   important step forward," the State Department said. "We look forward to
   immediate resumption of access to the internet, establishment of the
   new legislature, accountability for the violent suppression of peaceful
   protests, and progress toward free and fair elections."
