The thirty-years-long dictatorship was challenged in December 2018 by the pro-democracy demonstration which then faced a massacre. The protest movement of young and energetic people was spearheaded by a want for a more dignified life and a functioning, entirely civilian government. The military removed the Islamist bastion of dictator Omar Hassan al-Bashir in April 2019, and his former officers took power themselves; the new chant became \u201cFreedom, peace, and justice, the revolution is the will of the people.\u201d But the protestors are pessimistic because the suspicion is that they are moving from one military regime to another, and the worry becomes debilitating and the disappointment crushing, and the time spent feeling like time wasted. The anxiety among the people is increasing as 40 percent of young people are unemployed, and the development indicators are below Afghanistan and Syria. The military\u2019s release of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was from an external pressure to restore the pre-coup status quo, which was necessary to unblock the suspended aid of a billion dollars. The protestor Khaleda Rehman mentioned that \u201cwe are more awakened with the revolution, yes, but only to our own suffering.\u201d Mohamed Ali Bakur, a member of the revolutionary party \u201cForces of Freedom and Change\u201d, sees the military as a necessary partner in achieving the revolution\u2019s ultimate goals and stated that the revolution has no leader, no vision, no consensus \u2014 it is just chaos, and crisis after crisis. The author identifies the helplessness spreading among the people who have reached the point and drew the general understanding that negotiation with the army is necessary because the situation is sliding back into the past. The faces may change, but nothing else will ever change until the people are in power.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>By: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Razia Wadood,<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CIGA Senior Research Associate<\/span><\/i><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Max Bearak Affiliation: The Washington Post&#8217;s Nairobi Bureau Chief Organization \/Publisher: Washington Post Date\/Place: December 20, 2021\/Washington, D.C., USA Type of Literature: Article\u00a0 Word Count: 1582 Link: https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2021\/12\/20\/sudan-revolution-protests\/\u00a0 Keywords: Dictatorship, Revolution, Sudan, Hamdok, Military\u00a0 \u00a0 Brief:\u00a0 The author expresses the people\u2019s antipathy of the three years of endless revolution in Sudan that is despairing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":8027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-nile-valley-north-africa"],"blocksy_meta":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Three-Years-into-Sudans-\u2018Endless-Revolution.-Hope-Slides-toward-Despair-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Three-Years-into-Sudans-\u2018Endless-Revolution.-Hope-Slides-toward-Despair-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Three-Years-into-Sudans-\u2018Endless-Revolution.-Hope-Slides-toward-Despair-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Three-Years-into-Sudans-\u2018Endless-Revolution.-Hope-Slides-toward-Despair-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Three-Years-into-Sudans-\u2018Endless-Revolution.-Hope-Slides-toward-Despair-1024x683.jpg",1024,683,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Three-Years-into-Sudans-\u2018Endless-Revolution.-Hope-Slides-toward-Despair-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Three-Years-into-Sudans-\u2018Endless-Revolution.-Hope-Slides-toward-Despair-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"author_info":{"info":["CIGA Staff"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/?cat=33\" rel=\"category\">Nile Valley &amp;
