Sudan's Military Discreetly Reorganized

Berouk Mesfin, Institute for Security Studies (ISS) senior researcher based in Addis Ababa, gave a presentation on 12 August 2015 concerning Sudan's military.  A summary of his remarks titled "View on Africa: Sudan's Military Discreetly Reorganized" appeared on the ISS website.

Berouk reported that the new Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) command is seen by a number of military experts as consisting of officers who are primarily President Omar al-Bashir's staunchest loyalists.  He described the government of al-Bashir as in survival mode.
