Sudan faces new questions as Bashir’s rule ends
Thursday, April 11, 2019
Significance
Though this is a major victory for protesters demanding Bashir’s resignation, the precise form of any proposed transition will be closely watched.
Impacts
- The people will want Bashir to face justice, but many within the former ruling elite may be wary of the potential for blowback.
- Transition will create deep uncertainties over Sudan’s foreign policy direction; regional powers may thus look to influence its direction.
- A serious change in government could accelerate Sudan’s delisting as a state sponsor of terrorism and set it on a path towards debt relief.
