In Sudan generals and opposition alliance have formed a sovereign council that will head the country during its three-year transition to civilian rule.

Transitional Military Council spokesman said the sovereign council will be led by Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who is the head of the Transitional Military Council.

The line-up of the 11-member council was announced by a spokesman for the TMC, which had taken charge after former President Omar al-Bashir was forced from power in April.
