SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Guardian - The Guardian view on Sudan’s people power: it needs to triumph

3/6/19: Guardian - The Guardian view on Sudan’s people power: it needs to triumph

The Guardian editors call for outside powers to back Sudan’s democratic transition and tell Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia to accept non-violent change.

 The Guardian editors argue that a denunciation of the governing transitional military council is required “urgently,” adding that the ending of Sudan’s international isolation, as well as an aid package from multilateral lenders, must be conditioned upon elections and civilian government.

 The Guardian editors note that the only “only outside players in Sudan are the ones who want to cement military rule,” concluding with calls for the west to balance out Saudi, Emirati and Egyptian influence in Sudan.
