#Sudan’s economic problems exist within a context, and are not solely attributable to the regime’s corruption. Loss of oil revenue, lack of FDI, etc, are real things. Capitulation with IMF austerity policies aims to appease foreign investors, any of whose potential projects will benefit the Sudanese private sector elites. All of these factors will continue to exist if the government is toppled, but the public will be distracted by the false optimism stemming from the successful overthrow of the government; but the actual situation will be unchanged.
Do the protesters have a solution to Sudan’s economic troubles? Or do they imagine that removing Bashir will solve everything?
