SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Guardian - ‘Save the revolution’: Sudanese protesters head to Khartoum
26/4/19: Guardian – ‘Save the revolution’: Sudanese protesters head to Khartoum, by Zeinab Mohammed Salih and Peter Beaumont
Zeinab Mohammed Salih and Peter Beaumont's feature piece spoke to protesters travelling into Khartoum to join the sit-in outside the military headquarters, "to protect what they see as their revolution."
Salih and Beaumont state that those from locations like Atbara, "far from the capital" are closely watching both the military, and the leaders of the new opposition movement, "anxious that their interests are sold out."
The article highlights the symbolism of "the freedom train that brought activists from Atbara," noting a similar train journey during the 1964 uprising against Sudan's first military dictatorship. Another source of meaning, according to political analyst Faisal Mohamed Salih, is that Al Bashir's regime "destroyed the railway system in Sudan and impoverished the workers.”
