African Arguments published on 1 July 2022 a commentary titled "Why Sudan Protest Movement Has Toppled One but Not Yet Two Dictators" by Justin Lynch, writer and researcher living in Sudan.
The author explains why the Sudan protest movement was able to remove Omar al-Bashir from power in 2019 but has so far failed to do so with the current military leadership. He cites three reasons:
--The goals of the protest movement have changed from specific interests in 2019 to much broader political change.
--The organization has changed from a grass roots movement to local resistance committees engaged in infighting.
--Protesters moved from demanding the removal of military leaders to getting the entire army out of politics.
