8/4/19: Economist - Protests against the rule of Omar al-Bashir in Sudan are growing

 The Economist highlights growing divides within Sudan’s armed forces - contrasting the top ranks who are yet to disown Omar Al Bashir, with rank-and-file soldiers who count family members among the protestors. The Economist argue that this leaves the president and the country “in a dangerous position,” before quoting Abdi Rashid of the International Crisis Group to say that “the prospects of major violence are now more real than ever.”
