Sudan coup

“Protests could now be held against both the military and Hamdok following the deal. The deal was a major compromise on the part of the prime minister as it essentially validates what has been called bad behaviour by this coup. Protesters have every right to be concerned about what message this sends to the country and to the prospects of the democratic transition.”

“Protests are continuing, more and more people are joining the protests, they are chanting that they don't want the military rule.”

“It seems that al-Burhan [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan] is trying to build a national consensus without getting any member close to Hamdok [Abdalla Hamdok]. These exclusions reflect how negotiations between the army and the Hamdok have failed terribly. This will have complications because the streets are demanding Hamdok to be back and the international community is putting pressure on al-Burhan to restore a civilian government and take Hamdok as its prime minister.”

“It is our pledge - a pledge we made to ourselves, the Sudanese people and the international community - that we are committed to completing the democratic transition, holding elections on time, and committed to not stopping any political activity as long as it is peaceful, and within the bounds of the constitutional declaration and the parts that have not been suspended. We are committed to handing over power to a civilian government of national competency and we pledge to preserve the transition from any interference that can hinder it. The Sudanese army does not kill citizens, and there are investigation committees to reveal what happened.”

“We organised a silent stand against the decisions by al-Burhan [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan] outside the ministry of education. Police later came and fired tear gas at us though we were simply standing on the streets and carrying banners.”

“We truly need to prepare the atmosphere and de-escalate matters so that we can sit at the table. But clearly, the military faction is continuing with its plan and there are no efforts to show goodwill. In these initial stages, we hope that they [international community] continue strong pressure. This pressure has to be more than just tweets. This pressure needs to have mechanisms that could create real pressure on the military component.”

“Rule is based on a combination of consent and coercion. Burhan [Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan] has no consent and is unable to coerce the multitudes on the street into submission.”

“The Burhan-Hemeti [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Daglo] dynamic is weird. They are mutually treacherous. The Egyptians favour Burhan due to his training in Cairo. The rich, ruthless desert warrior Hemeti is more to Saudi and Emirati tastes. He delivered the mercenaries for the war in Yemen, and made more money out of it.”

“Hemeti [Mohamed Hamdan Daglo] and his brothers have been very quiet. This is not by accident and is in line with what happened in 2019. Then, too, Hemeti waited until he saw how things were progressing and in the end he was the one to arrest Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Before that, he and his troops were effectively security for Bashir's National Congress Party, their insurance policy against any coup attempt.”

“Together, our message to Sudan's military authorities is overwhelming and clear: the Sudanese people must be allowed to protest peacefully and the civilian-led transitional government must be restored. The events of recent days are a grave setback, but the United States will continue to stand with the people of Sudan and their non-violent struggle.”
