Sudans military council said on Sunday that it would publish its views for the countrys transitional period on Monday. The ruling military council agreed on some of the points in a draft constitutional document presented by an opposition alliance last week but disagreed on others, a spokesman for the council, General Shams El Din Kabbashi, said in a televised press conference. Kabbashi said the oppositions document was "good" and that negotiations would continue. Meanwhile, a Sudanese protester has died after being shot during clashes with security forces at a sit-in in the western Darfur region. The Sudan Doctors Committee, one of the groups behind nationwide protests that drove President Omar al-Bashir from power last month, said Saad Mohammed Ahmed, 18, was shot Saturday when security forces tried to forcibly disperse a sit-in outside a military facility in Nyala. He died Sunday. Maj. Gen. Hashim Mahmoud, the governor of south Darfur province, said around 5,000 people marched to the facility from a nearby displaced persons camp, and that security forces used tear gas to try and disperse them.
