Sudan: Massive resistance defends December Revolution vs. military coup

Sameena Rahman Download PDF flyer Photo: Solidarity protest in Denver, Colorado, Oct. 26 Hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan are in the streets courageously resisting the coup staged by the military on Monday.

Crisis in Sudan is a Lesson for the U.S.

BY WIM LAVEN About 2,700 years ago a storytelling slave named Aesop told tales of political, religious, and social themes. They have been popularized for their ethical dimensions and utilized as children’s’ stories for the morals and wisdom they deliver. In “The Four Oxen and the Lion” Aesop tells of a powerful lion who prowls a field in search of a hearty meal. The four oxen who live there stand tail to tail and offer The Lion horns regardless of the direction of the approach. One day, however, an argument causes the the four oxen to go their separate ways. On their own the oxen do not stand a chance against the lion, who picks them off one by one with great ease. The moral of the story: united we stand, divided we fall. Issues of collective security are timeless. In...

He then vowed to hold elections in July 2023 and hand over power to the elected civilian government, ...

OPINIONBY MEHMET RAKIPOĞLU The deepening of bilateral ties will provide many strategic benefits to both Turkey and Sudan. Right now, Turkey is standing by the Sudanese transition government.

Pompeo tries to extort cash from struggling Sudan

https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2020/08/28/pompeo-tries-to-extort-cash-from-struggling-sudan/ by: Mitchell Plitnick Mike Pompeo’s Middle East trip during the Republican National Convention has turned into a tour de force of scandal and failure. In that sense, it mirrors well both his tenure as secretary of state, and his boss’s time as president. Starting in Jerusalem, Pompeo made a mockery of his office by giving a political speech, which might have been a violation of the Hatch Act, and doing so from foreign soil, a breach of diplomatic tradition in the United States. Pompeo also visited Bahrain, where his attempt to convince the king to join the United Arab Emirates in normalizing relations with Israel was firmly rebuffed, and wound up his...

UN Says New Polio Outbreak in Sudan Caused by Oral Vaccine

In a statement this week, WHO said two children in Sudan — one from South Darfur state and the other from Gedarif state, close to the border with Ethiopia and Eritrea — were paralyzed in March and April. Both had been recently vaccinated against polio. WHO said initial outbreak investigations show the cases are linked to an ongoing vaccine-derived outbreak in Chad that was first detected last year and is now spreading in Chad and Cameroon. “There is local circulation in Sudan and continued sharing of...
