This book tells the story of the Sudanese revolution of 2019; of
how it succeeded in bringing down the long-standing rule of
President Omar al-Bashir; and of the troubled transitional
civilian-led government that was installed in his place. It sets
the scrupulously non-violent uprising in its historical context,
showing how the protesters drew upon the precedents of earlier
civic revolutions and adapted their practices to the challenges of
the al-Bashir regime. The book also explores how that regime was
brought to its knees through its inability to manage the
intersecting economic and political crises caused by the secession
of South Sudan and the loss of oil revenue, alongside the
uncontrolled expansion of a sprawling security apparatus. The
civilian protesters called for-and expected-a total transformation
of Sudanese politics, but they found themselves grappling with a
still-dominant cabal of generals, who had powerful regional backers
and a strong hold over the economy. Internally divided, and faced
with a deepening economic crisis, the civilian government led by
Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has found itself in office, but with
less and less real power, unable to change the conduct of political
business as usual.
