On Monday, Oct. 25, Sudan’s military seized control of the country, arresting Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and dissolving the transitional council government that was created to oversee the country’s passage to a more democratic system of governance. The coup comes just weeks before the military was expected to hand leadership of the transitional council over to civilians, and General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, the head of the Sudanese military, announced on national TV that he was declaring a state of emergency and that the military would be appointing a technocratic government to run the country until elections are held in July 2023. However, already battered by years of dictatorship, revolution, and economic turmoil, on top of the interlocking crises of COVID-19 and global vaccine apartheid, the people of Sudan have risked their lives to take to the streets and rebel against the coup. In this urgent interview, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Mubarak Elamin of the Sudan US Policy Network about the unfolding political crisis in Sudan and about the people’s democratic fight against the military coup.

You should briefly explain the historical and recent political events and what are the ostensible reasons for the military coup.
Oh great a new government, with policies so good they have to be enforced with a gun. Just what the world needs another government they can only rule by force. You know like the United States.
will sudan now go back to the black list of terror state ?
I'm a white man living in California but my ancestors lived first in the Shri Lanka area (Ceylon) and later they moved to Khartoum in Sudan. The history of Sudan goes back thousands of years. I think at one time even the Romans ruled there. A crossroads in the area, for sure. Maybe my strong belief in democracy and liberty comes from my ancestors in Sudan. Long live the revolution we the people.
Business as usual.
It would sure be nice to have democracy in the United States. The people of this country should stand tall like the Sudanese People.
for how long has this gone on, in almost every african country, and it's not even important what the mainstream media mud entails…
Power to the People… End The Power of Oppressors.
The general who is destroying Sudan's democratic transition needs to meet his maker …. or be placed in prison.
Real News: Can you please research & advocate for full intellectual property (IP) abolition? This is the most important activist aim for working class people! A just economy (& most leftist projects) has very little chance without first abolishing IP. IP is the most severe & oppressive tool of the rich & powerful.
Please see the work of Stephan Kinsella, Michele Boldrin, & David K. Levine. These are the best experts on intellectual property in the world. Everyone who cares about seriously improving things for humanity needs to know what IP abolition is about.
