The government of Sudan is perhaps the lowest tier in the power structure controlling the country. Aside from domestic business players, there are the Gulf States (particularly Kuwait and Saudi Arabia), Multinational Corporations, the IMF, the Paris Club creditors, China, and so on. And, of course, the power structure determining Sudan’s future exists within the framework of rigid geopolitical and economic realities that severely restrict the available options for change and improvement. The rage and frustration that led to the protest movement are completely understandable, but, as with Egypt, misdirected outrage will not bring a positive outcome, but will only deepen the misery.
