Kleptocracy behind Sudan's Military Coup

 The Sentry published in November 2021 a paper titled "A Strategy for Revitalizing Sudan's Democratic Transition" by Suliman Baldo and J.R. Mailey.  

The military coup in Sudan brings the security services' warped incentive structures into public view.  Confronting this problem head-on is essential for addressing Sudan's political crisis and revitalizing the transition to civilian rule.  Sudan's security services are hijacking the state and preserving the kleptocratic system with their commercial holdings such as the Defense Industrial System.
