SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: AP - Sudan’s youth protesters await justice amid frail transition

9/3/2020: AP - Sudan’s youth protesters await justice amid frail transition, by Samy Magdy

 AP’s feature piece explores growing youth disillusion at the transitional government, with growing frustrations at the lack of opportunities and justice for killed protesters.

 Farida, 26, an underemployed graduate, “like many people” predicts the return of protests unless the youth unemployment rate falls, as “prices are skyrocketing.”

 Al-Amin Ali, 30, also underemployed, says the transitional government “is far from meeting the basic demands of the uprising — justice for previous crimes, and a decent standard of living,” rendering emigration “the only chance of success.”

 Youssef al-Sewahly, 19, said “our trust in the military is zero, we do not expect anything from them.” He added that his support for the transitional government hinges on whether those responsible for violence on demonstrators are prosecuted.

 However, Nabil Adib, who leads the government investigation into the June 3 2019 massacre admits that his commission lacks the resources and capabilities to guarantee witness protection.
