TUNIS, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Tunisia praised the agreement reached Friday between Sudan's Transitional Military Council (TMC) and the opposition Freedom and Change Alliance on establishing transitional authorities to jointly govern the country.
According to a statement released by the Tunisian Foreign Affairs Ministry on Friday evening, Tunisia underlines the importance of this agreement which constitutes a considerable step forward, in this crucial phase of the history of Sudan.
"This deal will be able to preserve the security and stability in this brotherly country and to meet the aspirations of its people in the field of democracy, progress and peace," said the statement.
Sudan has been plagued by nationwide unrest since former President Omar al-Bashir was ousted by the military in April.
The coalition of opposition and protest groups have been in talks with the military over who would run the country.
Under the mediation of African Union and Ethiopia, the conflicting parties agreed to sit down to negotiate a solution to the country's political crisis.
