SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Washington Post - Sudan’s revolution could end up like Tiananmen — or even more tragic

3/6/19: Washington Post- Sudan’s revolution could end up like Tiananmen — or even more tragic

 The Washington Post editors call for the US, UK and African leaders to support Sudanese civilians in inheriting the new Sudan, arguing that they “deserve a government that can win international economic aid and build an open and pluralistic system.”

 Drawing parallels between the Monday’s crackdown on Sudanese protesters and the Tiananmen Square massacre in China, the Washington Post editors argue that “violent repression can hold steep costs to a society over many years.”

 However, they argued that if the Sudanese “revolution of hope be snuffed out,” the consequences could be even more tragic than the ones faced by Chinese students who protested 3 decades ago.
