Sudan, once upon a time a Vincent Van Gogh and the largest country in Africa is now a scar in the conscience of humanity and is in mayhem. In fact, she has always been in crisis since shillings. Its dark let us turn the lights and brighten the inner light of Sudan which was split into Sudan and South Sudan in July 2011. This write-up focusses on Sudan. The two rounds of north-south civil war cost the lives of about 1.5million people. This is just a tip of the iceberg. There’s continuous conflict in the western region of Darfus driving over 2 million poeple away from their homes and killing more than 200000 people. Sudan,hmm,hell on earth? A question for the gods.
How did the brouhaha start?
It all began in December 2018 as the people didn’t like the idea of fuel subsidies and many more. This ignited a demonstration. The climax of the protest was in April 6, 2019 when the protesters asked the army to force the president out of office. Omar was overthrown 5 days later after 30 years in power.
The Council of Generals, led by Lt.Gen.Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan took charge in April 11,2019. They’re known as the 7 member Transitional Millitary Council (TMC). Charity begins at home. The army is divided. How can they unite the country and ensure a smooth transition? A second question for the gods. Still on this transition, it was agreed that 3 years would be used to normalise affairs in Sudan in order to wipe Omar’s cronies from office. The TMC later came out to suggest a 9 month transition which was not accepted by the people. The civilians now had to kiss the indecisive ass of the TMC. A few days down the line, security forces opened fire on Pro-democracy protesters in Khartuom making negotiations collapse on June 3. After the June 3 tragedy, the TMC claimed the operation targetted criminals and trouble makers. Asem beba dabi.

The opposition in regards to the demonstration is the Sudanese Professional Association made up of doctors, other health workers and lawyers. A woman titled Kandaka-Nubian Queen, has been seen leading chants. She’s literally the symbol of the protesters.
International Response
AU has suspended Sudan from it’s membership until a civilian led transitional authority is established. How on earth can this prevent the numerous deaths. A third question for the gods. Birds of a feather flock together indeed. Fair weather friend, UN has removed all non-essential staff from Sudan. The UN did same during the Rwanda genocide, pathetic! Saudi Arabia,Egypt and UAE are acting but haven’t directly condemned the violence,sigh
Prayer has always been the key but prayer without deeds is superstitious. I entreat us all to actually go beyond the posts and pray for Sudan. All authorities must do their best to help our brethen in Sudan and act beyond posting #prayforsudan.
…these are the thoughts of a young black boy…
