Sudan's army rulers and protest leaders inked on Sunday an accord on a constitutional declaration that would usher a long-awaited transition to civilian rule.

Protest leader Ahmed Rabie and the deputy head of the ruling military council General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo signed the declaration, an AFP correspondent said, at a ceremony attended by African Union and Ethiopian mediators.
