The World : Sudan OKs Interim Rule

Sudan’s new military regime has agreed to form an interim Cabinet for a one-year transition period, after which power will be transferred to a civilian government, civilian negotiators said. The 15-man Military Council headed by Gen. Abdul-Rahman Suwar Dahab will hold supreme power during the transition period, and the interim government will administer its laws. Dahab has said the interim Cabinet will include some civilians. The Military Council said that Khartoum’s international airport will reopen today. The facility was closed last weekend when the military ousted President Jaafar Numeiri.
