The Deep Solution!
Osman Mirghani The Sudanese crisis, despite its great discord, is just an example of a quarrel and has nothing to do with the nation or the people. After 65 years since our independence, we don’t need to repeat the same mistakes and expect different results. Our politicians are running the whole country with an unlimited mandate that allows them to interfere in all the details and decision-making without the need for intuitions or institutionalism. As…

The Day After…
Dr. Elshafie Khidir Saeid Although the framework agreement signed between Lieutenant-General Al-Burhan and Dr. Hamdok has brought some calm to the political scene, the country is still in crisis, and we are still experiencing the repercussions of the shock caused by the disastrous measures of the twenty-fifth of last October.

Tut: a Man of Peace
Mohamed Saad His name has not been mentioned lately in all the media in Sudan and South Sudan except that he was preceded by thanks and praise, even at various social, cultural, and political levels, because there is no dispute over the people’s love for Tut.

Tirik and the Transitional Sovereign Council
Al-Tahir Satti When the Chieftain of Al-Hadandawa tribe revealed their nomination of Chieftain Mohamed Ahmed Tirik to the membership of the Transitional Sovereign Council, affirming that all the components of Eastern Sudan agreed on that; I expected denial from Tirik to that news and that Eastern Sudan did not nominate any representative in the Transitional Sovereign Council, besides affirming that he will not agree to be Eastern Sudan representative in that council.

The Way Out
Omer B. Abu Haraz Sudan is now in a precarious juncture that might lead to slipping in chaos, anarchy, and disintegration. This dreadful situation is a result of a widening rift between the two partners of the revolution which ousted the strong salvation regime on April 11, 2019, after four months of popular unprecedented demonstrations in almost all parts of the country.

Don’t Miss the Chance!

The youth who decided to go to the streets do not want more than express their stances towards what is going on in their country in peaceful demonstrations dominated by civil conduct as all the people in other nations do. The people who go to the streets have…

Transitional Justice is Crucial to Reshape the Political Scene
Muawad Mustafa Rashid Background: Following the fall of the Al-Bashir dictatorship, the negotiated agreement guiding Sudan’s new transitional government promised to work for comprehensive peace and justice. The agreement promises to hold members of the Islamist regime accountable for all crimes committed against the Sudanese people. But this seems to be a difficult task, considering that important military members of the old regime are key players in the transitional government structures. Justice takes a long…

Who sold out the Nation!
Mohammed Saad It is shameful for Sudan to live in continuous conflicts, civil and tribal wars since its independence 65 years ago. It is not strange because all our elites and politicians since then were busy repeating the vicious cycle and power hunger. But alas, after all those failures, General Al-Burhan did what was expected according to the social scene with all its security, economic and social impacts. Though the step of General Al-Burhan is…

What is the way out? (2)
Dr. Elshafie Khidir Saeid In the previous article, we stressed that there is no way out of the current crisis except to return to the platform of dialogue between all the forces of the transition including the parties to the transitional Sovereignty Council and the transitional cabinet. In this regard, we renew our proposal, which we have repeated a lot, that the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council and the Prime Minister expedite the launch of…
