Sudanese Revolution from 2018 to 2019

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.
