CAIRO (Reuters) - Sudan's military wants to hand power to a democratically elected government as soon as possible in the tumultuous aftermath of former president Omar al-Bashir's overthrow, a prominent general said in an interview published on Wednesday.

"We got tired. We want to hand over power today not tomorrow," Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, deputy leader of the ruling military council, told Egypt's state newspaper Al Ahram.
