Cumar Xassan Al bashir next dictator going down

[Khalid Ali]

A bad patch for the president
A rare bout of public protests is rocking the presidential boat
Jun 30th 2012 | KHARTOUM | from the print edition

THE rowdiest street protests for years have shaken Sudan’s already wobbly president, Omar al-Bashir. They started with protests against the rising cost of living by university students. But on June 22nd, dubbed “Sandstorm Friday” by activists, they spread to other districts in Khartoum, the capital, and widened into a general expression of angry dissent. Activists say demonstrations have erupted in at least 30 places across the country.

After the initial protest, a pattern soon emerged. Groups of protesters would take to the streets, calling for freedom and an end to Mr Bashir’s regime. Then riot police would arrive, firing tear gas at the protesters, while plain-clothes men from the feared National Intelligence and Security Service would grab them and drive them away in white pickup trucks.

In some places young men played a game of cat-and-mouse with the security forces, rushing out to throw rocks and set tyres on fire before running away down side streets. In al-Daim, a district of Khartoum, streets were barricaded with debris or concrete blocks. Dozens of people were arrested. Salma el-Wardany, a correspondent for Bloomberg, an American news agency, was deported after being arrested at a demonstration at Khartoum University. The British government, among others, called for “the immediate release of those detained while engaged in peaceful protest and for the security forces to act with restraint and avoid the use of force.”

The protests were prompted by the government decision to impose a string of austerity measures, such as the removal of fuel subsidies that raised the price of petrol at the pump by almost 50%. Taxes shot up. So did public-transport costs.

Mr Bashir, who insisted that the measures would not hurt the very poorest, also reduced the size of his government, sacking nine presidential advisers and a clutch of ministers. “It will take a week or two for people to feel the pain,” says Hafiz Muhammad of Justice Africa Sudan, a human-rights group. “Then there will definitely be a reaction.” So far the protests have been fairly small in terms of turnout, but the number of demonstrations has multiplied. Mr Bashir called the protesters “bubbles” that would presumably be blown away.

Sudan has suffered periodic bouts of unrest. The last large-scale student demonstrations erupted in 1995. Before that, Sudanese civilians twice overthrew military presidents, in 1964 and again, albeit briefly, in 1985. Could Mr Bashir’s number be up?

Many Sudanese have tired of him after 23 years in power. The economy is rocky. His indictment by the International Criminal Court at The Hague for alleged genocide in Darfur, Sudan’s embattled western province, means that almost no Western aid is coming in. South Sudan’s secession nearly a year ago cost Mr Bashir’s rump state of Sudan three-quarters of its oil production and more than a third of its revenue. Hence his need for harsh economic measures. Whether he backs off or continues to crack down, the next few months will be unusually edgy.

Basheer would be good but he is making so many mistakes so many students and youth are against his rule now maybe Sheikh Hassasn turabi should be his successor and Sudan should be reformed by the smart hassan turabi.
