CAIRO—Sudan’s pro-democracy movement and ruling military council signed a final power-sharing agreement Aug. 17 at a ceremony in the capital, Khartoum, after weeks of tortuous negotiations.

The historic deal paves the way for a transition to a civilian-led government after the military overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir months ago and the more recent deadly suppression of protests.
