By Mohammed Amin</p> <p>KHARTOUM, Sudan (AA) – The Sudanese military council and the Change and Freedom opposition alliance failed to make progress after three days of negotiations in talks on transitional arrangements.</p> <p>Talks began on arrangements for a transitional period after President Omer Al-Bashir was ousted earlier this month.</p> <p>Military spokesman Shams Aldin Kabashi told a news conference both sides would continue talks in coming days despite disagreement on the percentage of seats in the transitional council.</p> <p>“The opposition has presented a proposal of a composition that contains eight seats for the civilians and seven for the military, but we as a military council we asked for seven seats for the military and three for civilians,” Kabashi said.</p> <p>“We made it clear that the sovereignty of the country is supposed to be in the hands of the military and entire Cabinet can be a civilian authority, but the opposition has changed their mind and we are waiting for them to come up with detail proposal to the next meeting,” he added.</p> <p>There has been some progress in the talks as Kabashi said both sides agreed main roads leading to a square in front of army headquarters will be opened. The roads have been used by demonstrators to organize sit-ins.</p> <p>The opposition alliance has so far not commented on Kabashi’s remarks.</p> <p> </p> <p>
