Sudan Resists the Coup: Organizing Solidarity with Sudan’s Revolutionaries

31/10/2021 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm EDT

In 2019, Sudan’s mass democratic uprising toppled the country’s hated dictator, Omar al-Bashir, and secured a power sharing agreement between civilian leaders and the military with the promise of elections for a new government. The military has reneged on that pledge and carried out a coup, arresting activists across the country. The people have now returned to the streets in mass numbers to defend their revolution. Join this meeting to learn about the situation and what you can do to build solidarity and support for the Sudanese people’s fight for democracy, justice, and equality.

Speakers:

  • Rabab Elnaiem, Sudanese activist, member of the Sudanese Workers Alliance for the Restoration of Trade Unions.
  • Muzan Alneel, Sudanese activist, co-founder of the Innovation, Science and Technology Think-tank for People-Centered Development (ISTiNAD) in Sudan and non-resident Fellow of the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP).

Sponsors:

Internationalism from Below, Tempest Collective, Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE), New Politics, Spring Magazine.
