The transitional military council and civilians have signed a political agreement that is part of a power-sharing deal, pictures from Sudan TV show.

Reuters news agency reports that the signing came after overnight talks as the two sides tried to work out differences. A further agreement - a constitutional declaration - is expected to be signed on Friday.

The agreement was signed in the capital, Khartoum, in the presence of mediators from the African Union, following overnight talks.

The deal was announced by Mahmoud Dardir, an envoy for the Ethiopian government.

He said:
