Sudan Coup Reader
the coverage in uk press is total rubbish except @yousraelbagir
today's climbdown is ok but nowhere near what the protestors have said is the bare minimum - the military out of government
A bit of regional geopolitical background for @craner

The Great Game of the UAE and Saudi Arabia in Sudan - Project on Middle East Political Science
Jean-Baptiste Gallopin, European Council on Foreign Relations After failing for years to decisively woo Omar al-Bashir to their axis, the UAE and Saudi Arabia took advantage of the revolutionary uprising of 2018-2019 to bring Sudan under their influence. They have done so by supporting military...pomeps.org
So disgusting to see the rebel groups from Darfur supporting the coup

Rebel groups take sides on Sudan coup
Rebel leaders who integrated into the transitional bodies through the civilian side after the 2020 Juba Peace Agreements have allied with the military, but some defiance remains.www.al-monitor.com
especially JEM, who were behind the famous Black Book 20 years ago exposing the ethnic elitism that ruled post-independence sudan

JEM's Black Book and the Language of Resistance: Transcribing Tyranny | African Arguments
Many seeking to understand the causes of Darfur’s rebellion look to the Black Book: Imbalance of Power and Wealth in Sudan, which was clandestinely published in 2000 by individuals who would later form Darfur’s Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), as representing the seeds of the rebellion. It...africanarguments.org
a shocking betrayal which at the same time represents the first time Darfuris have taken power in Khartoum, JEM don't have much military power (although they made an audacious armed raid on the capital some years back in a convoy of landcruisers driven right across the country
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_attack_on_Omdurman_and_Khartoum), unlike Hamedti/Dagallo who is also Darfuri - a cowboy who has come up through and now runs the militias who carried out the genocide on Darfur
Analysts (twitter) are emphasising that General Al-Burhan from the regular sudan army is not just an old regime stooge for warlord hamedti but is also an accomplished war criminal in darfur as well as yemen where he and hamedti sent 10s of 1000s of soldiers in support of Saudi/UAE....
Together against al-Burhan and Hemedti’s coup – Altaghyeer NewsPaper

Since the international Muslim Brotherhood elements in the government have been purged since the coup, i'm wondering how JEM's links to he late Hasan Turabi's networks will suit the coup's foreign backers.
Of the civilian remnants of the government who don't support the coup, Saddig ElMahdi, of the Umma party former PM (& descendent of the Mahdi who massacred the brits in the first battle of omdurman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Omdurman) was arrested so is not obvs completely mortgaged to the UAE, and the actual PM is undr house arrest. Big players in the protests are a shadowy group the association of professionals whose leadership are anonymous but whose members are being hunted by the govt/military https://arab.org/directory/sudanese-professionals-association/ they came out of the unions, though now some of the unions are supportng the coup i think

is what the coup is all about - hamedti and burhan and the junta protecting their resource extraction rackets and themselves from trial for their well documented roles in genocide and war crimes

‘Sudan coup result of warped incentive structures that trace back to the Al Bashir era’ - Dabanga Radio TV Online
The military coup led by Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan that seized power in Sudan on October 25, and dissolved the civilian-led transitional government of Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok, that was established following the April 2019 ouster of the Omar Al Bashir regime, ended a military-civilian...www.dabangasudan.org
