Talks between military factions have further delayed the signing of an agreement to resume Sudan's democratic transition, civilian representatives calling for fresh nationwide protests said on Wednesday.

A coup in October 2021 led by Sudan’s Army Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had derailed the transition to civilian-led rule that began following the 2019 ouster of long-ruling Islamist general Omar al-Bashir.
