KHARTOUM (Reuters) - The head of Sudan's ruling military council said on Wednesday it was ready to meet an opposition alliance to negotiate the country's transition towards democracy, after talks collapsed following the deadly dispersal of a protest sit-in.

"We are ready to continue negotiations with the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces," Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said. "We do not deny its role in the uprising or in the popular revolution, their leadership of the masses."
