Sudanese generals have displayed their power hunger by launching a military coup days before civilian leaders in the governing Sovereign Council could have taken up the reins of the country.
Sudan’s pro-democracy supporters felt optimistic about the country's future after the 2019 mass protests led to the ouster and arrest of its long-time dictator Omar al Bashir.
“It’s fair to infer that the military junta is planning to shut down the peaceful transition of power and the peaceful transition toward democracy and civilian rule,“ Elsheikh, a Sudanese political analyst, tellsBefore the coup, there were pro-military protests across Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, demanding the resignation of the civilian government.
“As the relations between the leaders of the transitional government, which is made up of civilian and military officials, have been strained, the pro-military protesters have demanded the dissolution of the transitional cabinet,” Elsheikh says.
