The Shocking Rise in Coups - Day 1: Sudan
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 2021-12-13

Sudan is at a crossroads after October’s military coup threw its democratic transition off course. Despite a power-sharing agreement between General Burhan and Prime Minister Hamdok on November 21, protests across the country continue to demand a return to civilian government and an end to military interference. Some African and international reactions were swift in condemning the most recent putsch, with the African Union suspending Sudan’s membership, but there is still room for further action. 

This conversation looks at how the international community can better support the aspirations of Sudan’s citizens and what lessons can be drawn from regional leadership, engagement and mediation during the 2019 coup and revolution.
