In Sudan, Bashir is Out, But Military Rule is Not Quite What
the Protesters Had in Mind
After three decades, Sudan is no longer ruled by Omar al-Bashir, but his ouster
in a military coup raises more questions than answers.
Amid anti-government protests that have only grown in intensity, Sudanese
Defense Minister Awad Ibn Auf on April 11
announced that
Bashir had been taken into custody and that a transitional government
administered by the military and led by Auf would run Sudan for a two-year
period. Auf also announced the suspension of the constitution and a three-month
state of emergency.
