Stephen Cotsis, acting ambassador of the USA to Sudan, said on Monday, that Sudan will be removed soon from the list of states sponsoring terrorism in the world.
He pointed out in statements to the “Sky News” Satellite Channel, that the USA welcomes the recent deal reached by the Interim Military Council (IMC) and forces of Liberty and Change, the civilian revolutionary factions ousted ex-dictator Omar H. al Bashir in April.
The two parties consented to form a sovereignty panel compromised member of the military rulers and civilians by the same number.
That panel will take the helm in Sudan for three years.
The IMC vows to probe all violence actions took place in the past weeks.
A legislative body will be elected later and a technocrat government of experts will be formed in the coming months.
The new sovereign council will rule the country by rotation, according to an African Union official mediating the crisis that has rocked the country for the past six months.
The uprising of the Sudanese people, demanding democracy, freedom, justice and an end to human rights violations, have lasted through the removal of the country’s long-term president.
Under the agreement, the military will lead the council first, with the head of the junta, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, as its chair, and then civilians will take over.
The council will be made up of five military and five civilian members, as well as a sixth so-called civilian agreed upon by both sides who will actually be a retired military officer, according to reports.
An independent investigation into the killings was also announced, and anyone found guilty will not be allowed to sit on the sovereign council. The African Union suspended Sudan’s membership after the attack.
Beginning in the eastern city of Atbara in December, the uprising is often said to have been triggered by a rise in bread prices, but has much deeper roots: it follows in a long tradition of revolution in Sudan, before the 30-year presidency of Omar al-Bashir.
