In Sudan, intense protests continue even after a military coup ousted the country’s 30-year military ruler Omar Bashir. What’s next?
Protesters shout slogans and make victory signs after Friday prayers in front of the Defence Ministry in Khartoum, Sudan on April 19, 2019.
Hit by an intense economic recession, the Sudanese people refuse to call off five month-long countrywide protests, seeking a democratically-elected civilian government. The military’s dominance, Yigit added, is rooted in the fact that “much of African politics lacks ability to institutionalise”. But the current leadership, which is led by the country’s military commander, General Abdel Fattah al Burhan,does not give much hope for a democratic transition, according to experts.
“If Sudan acts in accordance with them [Saudis and their allies], it will take a route to be the next Libya or Egypt. Then, it will become a country which will damage itself and its surrounding neighbours,” Eldeen toldIn Libya, following the Arab Spring protests in 2011, the country’s longstanding military dictator, Muammar Gaddafi,and killed after he tried to suppress protests in a bloody crackdown. But since then, Libya has been in a civil war, with rival governments in Tripoli and Tobruk.
