Join us for this forum on the military coup in Sudan and the mass resistance against it. In 2019, Sudan's mass democratic uprising toppled the country’s despised 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. In October 2021 the military 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. Speakers: Raga Makawi is a Sudanese democracy activist living in London.
