Sudan’s Crisis Puts The Country On The Brink Of Disaster

​In recent weeks, the hope of a transition to a civilian government has been replaced with the fear that security forces are willing to kill protesters in an attempt to hold on to power. Militias have committed horrific rights abuses, authorities have cut off internet access across the country in an attempt to stifle dissent and foreign powers seem intent on preserving military rule

What Algeria and Sudan Can Learn From Egypt

Today’s revolutionaries might take heed. Algeria and Sudan are at the very beginning of what may be long and arduous processes of building new democratic regimes. It is still far too early to say whether they will succeed, but learning the lessons of what went wrong in Egypt may help them to steer their countries away from a similar fate

عن الانتهاكات في السودان: الإدانة لا تكفي

​نقف في السودان أمام مفترق طرق، فإما أن نتمكّن من الدفع بمسار التغيير إلى نهاياته التي تتيح لكلّ سوداني، بمعزلٍ عن خلفيته الإثنية والدينية، التمتعَ بحقوقه باعتباره إنسانا حرّا كريما، وتضميدَ جراحٍ طال نزيفها، أو تنجح الدولة العميقة في إعادة إنتاج نفسها وتفرض شرعيّتها بالقوة، تجاوزًا لإرادة أعداد غفيرة ممن كانوا يحلمون بمستقبل أفضل، وتفتح الباب واسعًا أمام نزاعات مسلحة جديدة في البلاد

الجيوش والثورات العربية.. السودان والجزائر نموذجين

في السودان هناك حوار متعثر بين قيادة الجيش وقوى الحرية والتغيير، سيما بعد مجزرة فض الاعتصام، وفترة انتقالية طويلة، تريد المعارضة أن تكون بيديها، بينما تطرح قيادة الجيش مسألة إجراء انتخابات خلال تسعة أشهر. وفي البلدين، الجزائر والسودان، تستخدم قيادتا الجيشين لغة عاطفية، وتهاجمان من يختلف معهما، بينما تصر قوى الحراك على مطالبها وتواجه مخاطر التفتيت والانقسام والإجهاد والتدخل الخارجي

قراءة في الأسباب الاقتصادية لانخراط المرأة في الانتفاضة السودانية

​قبل فترة قصيرة، لم تكن الشابّة آلاء صالح معروفة على الإطلاق، إلّا أنها تحوّلت إلى أيقونة للانتفاضة السودانية. لقد أسهمت هذه الطالبة في إعادة الأضواء إلى الانتفاضة السودانية التي انطلقت أواخر العام 2018، والأهمّ إلى دور المرأة السودانية البارز فيها، والمدفوع من عداء نساء السودان للنظام الحاكم، لا بسبب ترابطه مع الأطر الاجتماعية والقبلية والثقافية السائدة فقط، أو علاقة المرأة كمواطنة بهوية النظام السوداني العسكرية والدينية والرأسمالية فحسب، بل لانعدام إمكانية فصله أيضاً عن الأزمة البنيوية للاقتصاد السوداني والتي تتمثّل في انهيارات مُتتالية عانت منها البلاد منذ تسعينيات القرن الماضي

Why Sudan needs a slow transition

​Swift transitions pushed for by entrenched political elites and impatiently planned by the military will only bring about a faulty transition - rushed, brittle, alienating and elitist. And that will surely not lead to the political, social and economic transformation Sudanese people have dreamed of and fought for.

​The Counterrevolution Begins in Sudan

​ The counterrevolution is digging in. What began in December 2018 as spontaneous protests across Sudan because of the turgid economy and ended with the removal of military dictator Omar al-Bashir last month has run into a major obstacle: Bashir is gone, but his system is fighting back.
