]]> Pro democracy groups in Sudan have taken a first step towards restoring civilian rule.

But they have a mountain to climb before they get the military junta to step aside.

Celebrations following the power-sharing agreement – yet to be inked – between the generals and the civilians have been measured.

The protestors recognize that the deal is a compromise.

The military will retain power for the first half of the 39-month transitional period.

Getting them out after that will not be automatic.

The uniformed men responsible for the bloodshed since the beginning of last month will not easily relinquish power.

And there is very little chance that any of them will be held accountable for the deaths of unarmed protestors.
