The signing of the final agreement was scheduled for Saturday, April 1, after which a transitional constitution was to be adopted on April 6. The framework agreement aiming to create a transitional civil authority in Sudan was signed in December in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, at a meeting attended by the head of Sudan's Sovereignty Council Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan and opposition leaders, as well as international mediators. The agreement provides for the appointment of a prime minister and a subsequent transitional period of two years, followed by a general election.In October of 2021, the Sudanese military, led by Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, overthrew the government in a military coup, declaring a state of emergency and establishing a transitional sovereign council under his leadership. Subsequent protests forced Burhan to sign a pact stipulating the reinstatement of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, releasing all political prisoners, holding elections in July 2023 and handing power to an elected civilian government. The political crisis persisted, however, and Hamdok stepped down on January 2, 2022.

Parties to Political Process in Sudan Postpone Signing of Final Agreement
02:46 GMT 01.04.2023 (Updated: 02:57 GMT 01.04.2023) TUNIS (Sputnik) - The parties to the political process in Sudan have postponed the signing of a final agreement providing for the establishment of a transitional civil authority in the country, Khalid Omer Yousif, the spokesperson for the signatories to the political settlement, said.
The signing of the final agreement was scheduled for Saturday, April 1, after which a transitional constitution was to be adopted on April 6.
"At exactly 1 p.m. [11:00 GMT] on Saturday, April 1, a meeting will be held at the Palace of the Republic, which will bring together the civil and military parties that signed the framework agreement... to set a new date for the signing of the final political agreement, which could not be signed on the appointed date due to a lack of consensus on some unresolved issues," Khalid Omer Yousif said on Twitter.
The framework agreement aiming to create a transitional civil authority in Sudan was signed in December in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, at a meeting attended by the head of Sudan's Sovereignty Council Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan and opposition leaders, as well as international mediators. The agreement provides for the appointment of a prime minister and a subsequent transitional period of two years, followed by a general election.
