The SPA issued a statement yesterday saying that the opposition coalition and the Military Council agreed to establish a joint military-civilian sovereign council that will rule the country by rotation during a transition period leading to elections.
Under the agreement, five seats would go to the military and five to civilians, with an additional seat given to a civilian agreed upon by both sides.
The SPA expressed its satisfaction saying “triumphant people, today our road is getting bigger, let’s hold together and fill every empty space with cohesion”. It invited the people to be joyful “today is the birth of joy in our country, let the freedom’s sun shine without any clouds”
According to the agreement, the transitional period should last three years and three months as following:
1. Six months for peace
2. 21 first months (including the six first months) will be led by the militaria
3. The 8 last months will be led by civilians
