SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Voice of America – Massive Pro-Military Sit-In Shakes Sudan Democracy Efforts
Michael Atit’s feature provides insights from demonstrators against a civilian government “facing a growing crisis that could topple its rule”.
Protester Ibrahim Ishaaq said the government is dominated by only four political parties, and Sudan will never have stable government if a small group makes decisions.
Protester Omar Yousif suggested that Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok dissolves the Cabinet, expands political participation in the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition to include non-partisan professionals.
Protester Muhiddeen Adam, a member of the Sudan Liberation Movement faction, said: “few political forces want to drive [Sudanese] policy by the same policies of the previous administration… and these policies will never take us anywhere."
To solve the crisis, analyst Hassan Ali called for Hamdok to partly reshuffle his Cabinet or expand the number of ministers, and set a timetable for the composition of the legislative assembly and taking steps toward organising a general election.
