Alliance between Sudan's Army and Democracy Advocates Is Ephemeral

 Foreign Policy published on 20 February 2025 an article titled "Sudan's Army Is Part of the Problem, Not the Solution" by Mohammed Bahari.  

The recent alliance between some Sudanese democracy activists and the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) is a temporary and pragmatic partnership to counter the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.  The SAF has a long history of atrocities and using violence against unarmed protesters.  This is not the time to conclude that it has changed its tactics.
