SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: al-Rakoba – Where is the partnership?

23/9/2021: al-Rakoba – Where is the partnership?, by Mu'tasim al-QadhI 

Questioning the fate of the military-civilian transitional partnership after the failed coup attempt, Mu’tasim al-Qadhi calls for military weapons to neutralised, with the help of the international community, to prevent it from using its weapons to abort the transition to full-fledged democratic civilian rule, which can be helped by the Sudanese diaspora and their relations with international institutions and human rights associations, and their abilities to file cases before international courts.

Al-Qadhi suspects ulterior motives behind the coup attempt, noting that the military denied reports of a coup ten days before it occurred, before blaming the attempt on civilian incompetence ahead of the transfer of the Sovereign Council presidency to civilians, at a time when the military is accused of failing to maintain security.
