SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Washington Post - Sudan has a remarkable, unexpected second chance at popular rule

9/7/19: Washington Post - Sudan has a remarkable, unexpected second chance at popular rule

 The Washington Post editorial board call for Sudan to be given a chance to rebuild with substantial economic aid and expertise from abroad to ensure that the power-sharing deal works.

 Noting that the deal “unexpectedly” came together with help from the military council’s backers Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE, as well as pressure from the United States and Britain, the Washington Post’s editors argue that it is vital for all parties adhere to the agreement and “not walk away,”

 Nonetheless, the Washington Post’s editors concede that tempting the military to not break the deal and seize absolute power “won’t be easy” for security organizations that were “pampered” by former president Omar Al Bashir.
