I’m not one for hyperbole but the collapse of the transitional government in #Sudan is no longer a far fetched possibility. The country is literally bankrupt. The situation was already bad when COVID-19 hit. Now the country was brought to its knees by the floods.
This gloomy economic situation is exacerbated by the political dysfunction & dispute within the government component which was made evident in the not-so-subtle blame trading between #Burhan & @SudanPMHamdok on the dire state of affairs.
Moreover #Burhan (surprise!! not @GeneralDagllo) appears to be positioning himself to become the "savior" of #Sudan in the medium to long run. How he plans to achieve this is unclear but it is very obvious he is seeking to build a political base & polish his image
I am coming to believe that #Burhan meeting with @netanyahu in #Uganda was more about raising his international standing than about seeking benefits for #Sudan. He seemed to have conceded alot in that meeting in return for nothing (at least that we know of). The Q is why?
How can the situation be stabilized & brought back from the brink? Yes. For a starter #Sudan needs multi-billion $ cash infusion. Anything short of that is a total waste of time. Not even removing Sudan from list of states that sponsor terrorism would cut it at this point.
I would love to say that Sudan political leaders (including rebels) need to rise up to the occasion & put country over their petty partisan bickering & political posturing until the country passes this rough patch but that would be an illusion cos it ain't happening.
