SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Financial Times - Sudan's new regime has still to prove its sincerity

Full article: 15/4/19: Financial Times – Sudan’s new regime has still to prove its sincerity

 Summary:

The Financial Times editorial board argue that the main tasks of the Sudanese transitional military council are to negotiate a credible form of interim government with an “amorphous” opposition, and turn around the Sudanese economy.

 The FT editors claim that some Sudanese opposition members desire for a 4-year transition to democratic civilian government is “too long a limbo period,” given “the danger [of] chaos [beating] democracy to the punch.” 

 The FT editors then argue that the transitional military council’s hopes of immediate sanctions relief are unlikely, raising the possibility of the new regime’s fall if it fails to stabilise the economy quickly enough.
