The talks come on the eve of the protest leaders' planned announcement of a ruling civilian council that they say will replace the military body.
"The military council will hold talks with the Alliance for Freedom and Change at 8:00 pm ," Siddiq Yousef, a senior member of the umbrella group leading the protest movement, told AFP.
"Five representatives from the alliance will go today to the military council to discuss with them the transfer of power to civilian rule," Ahmed al-Rabia told AFP. "During these talks we've felt that the military council has no desire to hand over power," Rabia said.On Friday, the SPA announced it would name members of a civilian ruling council at 1700 GMT on Sunday outside the army complex where thousands have camped since April 6, first demanding the ouster of Bashir and now against the military council.Protest leaders say the civilian council would form a transitional government to rule Sudan for a four-year term, followed by elections.
Calls for handing over power to a civilian body have also come from the international community, including the United States.
