SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Al-Monitor - Sudan's transition deal seen as significant, but doubts remain

5/12/2022: Al-Monitor - Sudan's transition deal seen as significant, but doubts remain, by Adam Lucente

Al-Monitor report that Cameron Hudson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies said he is skeptical that Sudan’s framework agreement “is anything more than a tactical maneuver by the military to buy more time and space” as it “essentially returns Sudan to the position it was in originally in 2019 after the fall of ex-president Omar al-Bashir.”

Hudson further questioned whether any future elections in Sudan, if they occur, will be free and fair or “lead to the fundamental transformation of the Sudanese state” adding that “the leopard has not changed its spots and there is nothing in evidence to suggest that it intends to going forward.”
