I would also note that Sudan has historically been very close to the muqawama. For example, a number of Hamas’ Executive Forces personnel had received training in criminal investigation in Syria and Sudan prior to June 2007, as adumbrated by Ahmed Qasem Hussein, “The Evolution of the Military Action of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades: How Hamas Established its Army in Gaza,” Al-Muntaqa, Vol.1, No.2, September/October 2021, pp. 78-97. This is, in addition too all you have assiduously adumbrated, yet another reason that the imperialist class has sought to squelch Sudan’s autonomy.
Superb analysis! An essential read on understanding what’s unfolding in Sudan and how it’s fully embroiled in a fight against imperialism & subimperialism. We are rooting for the victory of the revolutionaries. May full liberation from the chains of capitalism ensue.
Khartoum's position as an centre extracting wealth did not start in the 50s Eygpt (and to a lesser extent the ottomans), is was a massive centre of the slave trade. Its important to note Sudan itself operated like an empire, its rule and attempted conquest of South Sudan was full of racist propaganda and contempt for the natives. While I agree foriegn force make things worse 75% of the problems are derived from similar problems present in the Egyptian and mahdist era..l8
This is a very great article, as it shows how a socialist revolution in a Global South country, if victorious, can pave the way for similar revolutions against capitalism and imperialism in the Global South. Lal Salam, dear comrade, and FREE SUDAN!
Extremely informative, thank you for taking the time to explain this so clearly. Can I ask, what do you think are the best ways people across the world can help?
Great analysis (and bibliography at the end!). I'd be really interested in a case study comparison between the resistance committees in Sudan and the more centralized anticolonial politics of Traoré in Burkina Faso. What are the pros and cons of moving directly to revolutionary democracy with no intermediate step?
Very well written. There has been an inconsistency of vision and flagrant brinksmanship in Sudan’s regional politics over the decades. Thi has contributed to the slow death of the country to the point where it became almost natural for regional predators to cannibalise their ally. At various points we hosted Kuwait then Saddam, bin Laden then turned on him, Iran, Qatar then switched to the UAE Saudi to fight Iran in Yemen, Ethiopia then Eritrea, suffered Ghaddafi then hosted him only to have his exiled Hafthar return to Libya and turn on us …etc
The UAE intervention signals that the country’s previous structure is irrecoverable
Amazingly well-written. Glad to see you’re over here on Substack as well! Look forward to passing along your work to others who may not know where to look.

So helpful to understanding the reasons for a siruation that is sorely under-reported in West. Thank you!

Fantastically written piece that details what is happening in Sudan and how it is all connected. We truly have failed the people of Sudan.

Interesting must-read
A useful primer for those of us who are observers of events in Sudan but are not super informed. Thank you.
