Restraint Urged in Response to Sudan Protests

African Arguments published on 30 November 2016 a commentary titled "Sudan Protests: Why It's in the Government's Interests to Respond with Restraint" by Magnus Taylor, Crisis Group Horn of Africa analyst.

Peaceful protests in Khartoum and other Sudanese cities have so far been met with restraint, although Sudan has a history of using excessive force. The author makes the argument that the government should be conciliatory and continue to tolerate legitimate dissent.
