Download How much has changed in Sudan since the 2021 military coup?
12 months ago today the Sudanese military, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, took control of the government in a military coup.
The prime minister and his cabinet were arrested, the government dissolved. Sudan's economy, which had already been in crisis with high inflation and food, fuel and medicine shortages, plunged further. Thousands of civilians took to the streets to voice their opposition to the military takeover.
Before the coup, military and civilian leaders had been sharing power in a transitional government. This union was fragile and had been formed after mass protests in 2019, which eventually led to the end of President Omar al-Bashir’s rule.
So today Alan Kasujja has been looking at how much has changed in Sudan since the military coup in 2021.
