Early in 2019, hated dictator Omar al-Bashir was toppled by the Sudanese masses, bringing the rule of his Islamist clique and the military into a serious crisis. The following years saw a polarising of forces between the military and the civilian masses. Thousands of civilian committees popped up across the country with the aim of finally ousting the military from politics.

Fast forward to 2025, Sudan has seen 2 years of counter-revolutionary civil war between two major factions of its military. The war has spurred on the worst humanitarian crisis this century, with millions fleeing the country and more displaced.

Muzan al-Neel, Sudanese socialist, who participated who in the revolution of 2018/19 and resistance against the military, will be helping make sense of how such revolutionary hope was crushed both from within Sudan and from the wider world.
