]]> Signing of Sudan’s power sharing deal between the military junta and pro-democracy civilian groups has been further delayed.

It is now hoped the agreement that will lead to elections three years from now will be inked tomorrow.

Before the power-sharing deal mediated by African Union and Ethiopian leaders could  be signed on Saturday, the Forces for the Declaration of Freedom and Change asked for more time to consult with the generals who overthrew President Omar Al Bashir in April.

Before these talks could start on Sunday, the feared Rapid Support Forces , formerly known as the janjaweed,  shot dead a protestor in the south east Sinnar state.

The civilian umbrella group is now saying it will be at least Tuesday before they can move any further.
