A rule of thumb in dictatorship; No matter how much power you gain never underestimate a population, so always apply worthy distractions to go along with your power play. When I first came to understand that, it was like swimming from murky to clear water, I could finally see clearer. Sudan has been dazed for so long in this forsaken cycle of poverty that they no longer know they’re actually in it (more accurately they have given into this standard of living).
The economic deficit that Mr. AlSadig Almahdi lead Sudan into proved his government was neither by the people nor for the people, a nation’s wealth circulating among a few close friends and family is indeed the main ingredient of its economic pitfall (a habit that remained with the following government). With the memory of General Nemiery’s impeachment fresh and vivid in the minds of the people, no one would doubt the fact that the climate for a coup was ripe, and by 1989 El Basheer’s regime grasped the opportunity.
Most of you know this story like the back of your hand, but my target is to trace the dents in our economy, and extract the main events in our nation’s unpleasant history in order to wise up and live up to the full potential of greatness Sudan is vowed to reach. Following this piece will be a series of political, sociological and economical analysis, stay alert for the upcoming entries.
