The Sudanese Revolution: A Different Political Landscape and a New Generation Baptized in the Struggle for Change
The Zambakari Advisory Blog
Author(s): Yasir Arman
The Zambakari Advisory, Phoenix, AZ, 2019
Arman surveys the social composition of the revolutionary nonviolent mass movement, seen as more inclusive than the previous uprisings since independence in 1956. In 2019 both rural and urban areas, students and professionals, political parties and civil society groups, as well as social activists engaged in resisting dams or land grabs or and other causes, joined in. The participation of some Islamists from both older and younger generations is significant. Arman also stresses the greater role played by women, and suggests that the movement's discourse - embracing diversity, equal citizenship and anti-racism - could provide a new discourse for nation-building.
