After its secession from Egypt in 1956, Sudan underwent many military coups against the ruling regime in the years 1957-1958. The coup of 1969 was the successful coup, led by Colonel Jaafar al-Numeiri, against the government of President Ismail al-Azhari, and it lasted for nearly 16 years, until a coup came. 1971, which was short-lived and was supported by communism led by Major Hashem al-Atta against the government of Sudanese President Jaafar al-Nimeiri and overthrew the government of the Democratic Republic of Sudan, but he failed to mobilize support, whether locally or internationally. .
In 1989, Al-Bashir turned against the ruling regime with the help of Hassan al-Turabi, leader of the Islamic Front, and continued to rule Sudan until the 2019 coup took place and he was removed from power by the Sudanese army following popular protests calling for his departure. At that time, the army, led by Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf, overthrew the government and parliament and declared a state of emergency in the country. For a period of 3 months, followed by a transitional period of two years, to be governed by the Sovereignty Council headed by General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, while the position of Vice President, Commander of the Rapid Support Forces, General Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti” is assumed.
It is noteworthy that the latter turned against Al-Burhan a few days ago, and the military battles are still going on between the Sudanese army forces led by Al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Hamidti, which have claimed the lives of nearly a thousand dead, several thousand injured, and fleeing from the fire of battles to the borders of neighboring countries.
And to find out the causes of the fierce battles between the two parties, it turns out that the political dispute in the country is due to the failure to reach an agreement to integrate the Rapid Support Forces, which number more than 100,000 elements in the Sudanese army, in addition to the dispute over who will assume the position of Commander-in-Chief of the army during the merger period that will extend Several years, in addition to the poor living conditions of the Sudanese people, and it is obvious to stand on the reasons underlying each of the parties to the conflict, which is to reach the seat of power in Sudan or to win the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces, even if achieving this is at the expense of the suffering Sudanese people From poverty, disease, and instability, as if Sudan was destined to live between the hammer of coup and the anvil of the ruler, so that its people would drink the cups of torment, destruction, and diaspora.
