This book tells the story of the Sudanese revolution of2019; of how it succeeded in bringing down the long-standing rule of PresidentOmar al-Bashir; and of the troubled transitional civilian-led government thatwas installed in his place. It sets the scrupulously non-violent uprising inits historical context, showing how the protesters drew upon the precedents ofearlier civic revolutions and adapted their practices to the challenges of theal-Bashir regime. The book also explores how that regime was brought to itsknees through its inability to manage the intersecting economic and politicalcrises caused by the secession of South Sudan and the loss of oil revenue,alongside the uncontrolled expansion of a sprawling security apparatus.The civilian protesters called for-and expected-a totaltransformation of Sudanese politics, but they found themselves grappling with astill-dominant cabal of generals, who had powerful regional backers and astrong hold over the economy. Internally divided, and faced with a deepeningeconomic crisis, the civilian government led by Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdokhas found itself in office, but with less and less real power, unable to changethe conduct of political business as usual.
