SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Bloomberg - The World Should Not Fail Sudan

6/6/19: Bloomberg – The World Should Not Fail Sudan

 Bloomberg’s editors call for a “coordinated international response” to the massacre of Sudanese protesters.

 Bloomberg’s editors suggest the US and Europe n should insist on a civilian-run transitional authority, as opposed to the military’s new plan to force through elections, “which in all likelihood is meant to buy time to consolidate power and slacken the pro-democracy movement.”

 The editorial also calls for the US and Europe to assist Sudanese civilians and help coordinate internationally monitored elections.

 The editorial goes onto call for the military council to be told that failure to facilitate civilian government “could lead to sanctions for human-rights abuses and other violations,” but also suggests that “they should be offered leniency in any post-election reckoning of their behaviour,” should they “peacefully” return to their barracks.

 The editorial concludes by calling for Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to endorse the aforementioned US and European efforts.
