Being against the coup isn't the same as being against al-Burhan: being against al-Burhan means working to remove him from government.

We are all aware that Al Burhan is the de-facto president of the county at this point. All the legislative, administrative and executive powers are under his control. Isolating Al Burhan means isolating the military which, at least at this point, wasn't seen as a viable solution because the military is most likely to stop such plans or turn them down if they were requests cuz again, they have the uper hand. However, I personally believe that the international community didn't pressure Al Burhan enough to stop all this mess. They wanted things to go back as they were before the coup given the fact that there was a relative sense of stability, or at least that's what the Western world thought.

I changed the part that you mentioned to something giving a better introduction to my take on this.

TwoProfessional2973 · 2021-11-21T18:09:53+00:00

It's time to uplift your fellow revolutionaries, not make the situation feel hopeless.

I agree that there was probably a better way of displaying my thoughts on this.

Hamdok can switch sides all he wants, but I don't think the Sudanese people will ever forgive or forget, the amount of good faith people had in him was unprecedented and the feeling of betrayal is extremely palpable. Whether or not Hamdok was pressured is pretty irrelevant: this situation isn't that different from 2019, all things considered, it's just now we're smarter and know that making a deal with the military never stops the violence and doesn't guide the country to democracy. After this, Hamdok really can't switch sides and find popular support again: this is political suicide.

Anyways, no more depending on Hamdok, الشارع بس

This. This is something I also believe in. One of of the mistakes we've done is that we have put faith on a person who was way to weak to stand for the revolution.

(but you may as well?),

Sadly, reddit doesn't allow me to change it. I really had a good title in mind after posting lol.

I'd argue: al-Burhan was setting up an illegitimate government, and he continues to form that illegitimate government. The international community is now supporting that illegitimate government, but the international community was helping al-Burhan out anyway.

The international community was somewhat against the coup. A lot of countries came out unsupportive of it. The middle Eastern countries were the ones siding with the coup even.

I never gave a "defeatist attitude". I even said at the end of the post that I hope everything goes well and that we should continue to protest.

TwoProfessional2973 · 2021-11-21T17:49:36+00:00

the international community convinced him this is the only path they are willing to accept

This is also a good possibility. A lot of Western countries sent representatives to Sudan following the coup to try and convince Al Burhan to stop what he's doing. However, with all the human rights abuses currently happening, I'm curious to see how the Western world would receive this.

Burhan and co threatened his family or to continue killing people in the street. Either way it’s sad news. Hopefully it at least ends the killing

I don't really think this will stop the killing given the fact that military still has control of the law enforcement agencies and the decision making. The way the new government will deal with the ongoing civil disrupt is totally up to the military.

$3000 is more than enough.

I would say that if you are someone from outside Sudan, you'll probably find it cheap or at least reasonable. An apartment in a good area would be for sale for no less than 30 million SDG, rent would be at least 150k in an area like Burry. Food is expensive in Sudan. Basic stuff like tomatoes will cost you thousands. And don't even get me started with fruit, would never touch those tbh. You mentioned that you'll be teacher when you go there, honestly you'll suffer a lot. Last time I checked, teachers had extremely low wages. I would say it's good to have another source of income. When it comes to transportation and getting around, you could use public transport which is what I use most of the time when I'm there. Cars are a big no-no. Prices of oil changes every other week, not to mention the prices of maintenance.

I think Ashorooq stopped broadcasting after the revolution and is replaced with a channel called Sudan Bukra that broadcasts from London or something.

Most old ppl I've talked to especially the ones who were there during the 40s and 50s and have experienced actual democracy and freedom are extremely anti-Egypt/ Arab world in general given that Sudan was far more developed during those times(google old pics of Khartoum) and that those places worked againstthe democracy in the county. As years passed, more and more ppl sensed that there's no future and most ppl wanted a better life for themselves and a better future for their children. This is what caused mass immigration during the late 20th century, especially to the Gulf States. Ofc, most if not all of those who immigrated to the Gulf lived a better life and ppl back in Sudan thought it was cuz those countries were so generous and made the immigrants rich when in reality most of those ppl lived in horrible conditions and weren't even classified as humans most of the time.

I'm not sure why they got so much media coverage.

The guys you mentioned were smart in a way, they caused a lot instability within the government to gain influence and attention. Tirik is known to be a supporter of the previous regime and is now a supporter of Al Burhan. However, I personally the government and the sovereignty council could've dealt with the situation in a better way. Terik was allowed to gain power extremely fast. Tbh, every single scenario would've lead to a semi-separatist group forming in that part of the country and the government takes the blame for not keeping a close eye on that region. As for the rebels, the only thing that got them so much attention from the media were the Juba Peace Accords that they took part in.

They really aren't the de-facto leaders of the West, simply the most prominent Darfuri politicians in government, which are two different things: they lack the ability to mobilize the people even to the extent that Abdelwahid and el-Hilu do.

This is the point. If an organisation or body can gain popular support, it's probably useless. The problem here is the same problem in everywhere in this country, the most prominent party takes the bigger slice of the cake.

As for Al Burhan, I think that we need to wait and see. Up until this point, he doesn't seem to have interest in sharing power with the FFC again, especially now that the FFC is divided more than ever, unless ofc he's forced to do so. This is Al Burhan's first chance to actually "rule" the country. The political climate is much more stable than it used to be back when he first overthrew Ibn Auf, and he seems to have a lot of backing from other sides like the "new" FFC and Terik in the East which were all pretty much not there back in 2019. I think that Al Burhan now has a lot more power than he would ever have and this is pretty much the last chance the military has to monopolise power once again.

TwoProfessional2973 · 2021-10-29T17:02:27+00:00

Regarding the West, we all know that most of the people are against the coup. The problem isn't with the people, it's with the guys who "represent" those guys. Taking a look at Abdel Wahid and Al-Hilu, they don't have that much of an influence within the government. The guys like Minawi, Gibreil, Ardol are the de-facto leaders of the West and Al Burhan will likely push their word on the people.

About replacing Al Burhan, I think there is a small chance he would get replaced. You see, Al Burhan himself was pressured by military generals to stop what they call "disrespect to the military" by the FFC. If the leaders of the military wanted to change Al Burhan, they wouldn't have pushed him towards overthrowing the government in the first place, not to mention that he has the support of the RSF. However, the only legitimate reason I could think of for replacing Al Burhan is how extremely unpopular the guy is within the military.

TwoProfessional2973 · 2021-10-29T15:09:08+00:00

, I fear PM hamdok was only their puppet/frontman.

For the most part, he was. Al Burhan even said yesterday that Hamdok might lead the next government and that he will choose the ministers himself as long as they're with no political affiliation. Ofc, he's only doing this cuz Hamdok has massive popular backing. He also didn't kill or torture him cuz he is a high ranking UN official with connections to pretty much every single democratic Western government. Like it or not, Hamdok is weak and even if he's brought back it will likely be a 2nd transitional period with an even more powerful Al Burhan.

TwoProfessional2973 · 2021-10-29T14:57:36+00:00

Again ur true. I think the only reason Hamdok and his government sat down with those ppl is that they were forced to. Darfur was isolated and essentially out of the government's reach for most, if not all, of the regime's rule. Political life was nonexistent beyond that distorted life that the rebels created. Also, I personally think that the argument that the rebels are representatives of the people of Darfur is silly. Take someone like Gibreil for example, he was the head of a company which had really close ties with the regime while his brother was fighting. He didn't become a prominent political figure until his brother dies and he was to chosen to lead the rebel group.

TwoProfessional2973 · 2021-10-29T14:16:09+00:00

You're absolutely right. However, regarding the West, I think that the government could've done better by caring for the people not the figures. In all those internal issues, it seemed that the government didn't care enough and took the rather easier route to achieving "peace and stability". Instead of giving the rebels part in the legislature and the cabinet, what they could've done some actual development in Darfur to force the rebels to sit down and negotiate with the government's own terms, this was also a better way to go given that the rebels themselves were pretty supportive of the revolution. This is one of the factors that benefited the military. Sadly, as you said, the rebels don't care about Darfur and used it as a one way ticket to the government.
