Sudanese Revolution from 2018 to 2019

  • Event

The Sudanese Revolution started in December 2018, initially sparked by public outrage over economic issues such as soaring prices and fuel shortages, but quickly evolved into a broader demand for political change. The protests gained momentum, leading to widespread demonstrations across the country against the 30-year rule of President Omar al-Bashir. The movement was characterized by its significant participation from a diverse cross-section of Sudanese society, including remarkable involvement from women and young people. On April 11, 2019, amid increasing pressure from continuous demonstrations and sit-ins, the Sudanese military announced that al-Bashir had been ousted and a transitional military council would take over. This marked a significant moment in Sudan's history, signaling the end of al-Bashir's long-standing authoritarian rule and opening a path towards a more democratic governance structure, albeit amidst ongoing challenges and uncertainties.
