SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: The Hill - Mounting protests in Sudan highlight the rise of Africa's activist generation

8/4/19: The Hill – Mounting protests in Sudan highlight the rise of Africa's activist generation, by K. Riva Levinson

 K. Riva Levinson, the CEO of KRL International, argues that Sudan’s ongoing protests are part of the rise of the African activist generation, and calls on the US and other foreign donors to support the activist generation and “the foundation from which it is built: civil society.”

Levinson cites various African examples where the activist generation has succeeded in demands for political and economic reforms, but notes that their success can be impacted by international support (or isolation), as well as national and international leadership.

 Levinson notes US leverage over Sudan, before concluding that the African activist generation are the future, and that it must be validated that history is on their side.
