The exact composition of a sovereign authority with a civilian majority will be agreed and signed today.

The agreement comes a day after security forces are accused of firing live rounds at protestors killing at least five. An army major has also been shot.

The Military council that deposed President Omar Al Bashir last month denies the shooting and blames what it calls infiltrators trying to scuttle any peace deal.

Military spokesman General Yasser Al Atta says the first six months of the transition period will be spent securing peace deals with rebels in conflict zones including Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan,
