A Year After The Military Coup, Sudan Is A Mess

One year after Sudan’s military coup, there is little optimism among civil society groups calling for a new constitutional settlement. Protests continue to rock the capital, Khartoum, as unarmed civilians demand democracy and justice. Impartial international rights groups report that demonstrations are met with disproportionate force. The military and its proxies are also accused of killing, beating and torturing ethnically Black African citizens in Darfur, South Kordofan, Blue Nile and Khartoum.
