Sudan once again plunged into a political turmoil

Soon after Sudanese military seized the power of their country by arresting Transitional Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, Sudan once again plunged into deep political turmoil.

Soon after the coup, Sudanese military chief General Abdel-Fattah Burhan stated that the military take over was highly essential at this juncture to avoid a possible civil war in the country.

Their justification in this regard could not help in pacifying the angered general public. Instead, hundred thousands of people came out on the street and they has been continuously agitating against the military coup.

Agitating people are now asking the military to release the transitional prime minister from the detention, hand over the power to transitional government once again and work with them for installing a broad based democratic government in the country.

Under pressure from the public anger, Sudan military regime forced to release the Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok from the custody.

During the agitation, many people have already been wounded and killed when the security forces opened fire on the agitating people.

The present political turmoil is a similar turmoil Sudan faced two years ago when the people agitated in vigorous manner to oust their autocrat President Omar Al-Bashir.

Omar Al-Bashir became President of Sudan’s 1989 just after he and some of the influential military offers led a mutiny against then Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi.

Soon after assuming the power, Omar Al-Bashir started ruling the country in an autocratic manner. Instead of following the existing broad based system in the country, he systematically implemented Sharia law in the country that was vehemently opposed by the Christian and other communities based in Sudan.

Omar Al-Bashir ruled the country for a period of 30 years. During this period, his autocratic regime allegedly carried out widespread oppression, genocide, and human rights abuses.

In 2003, Sudan faced first civil war that was occurred between the Omar Al-Bashir regime and and Darful based two rebel groups such as the Justice and Equality Movement and the Sudan Liberation Army.

In April 2003, these two rebel groups carried out massive attack on a military airfield and kidnapped an air force general. This has caused widespread armed conflict between Bashar regime and the rebel groups. This conflicts caused in resulting of massive violence against the citizens in Darfur.

During the violence in Darful region, world has witnessed worst ever mass murder and genocide towards Darfuri men, women, and children from Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups. About 200,000 to 400,000 people have already been killed during this period.

Ever after carrying out worst ever genocide towards their own people, still Omar Al-Bashir was able to continue the power till 2019.

In 2019, Sudan faced widespread protest against Bashir’s autocratic regime and he was thrown out from the power.
Sudan is one of the important oil producing country and they are producing about 107,853(+/-) barrel crude oil every day. At the same time Sudan is consuming approximately 140,000 barrel per day that is little more than the each day’s production. As each day’s production has been fluctuating, they are not at all importing any crude oil from other countries in the world.

If the ongoing political turmoil will continue in future, the entire people will suffer as they faced earlier.
At the same time, country’s oil production will come down drastically and the same will have a major impact on Sudan’s economy.
