Democracy is Not for the Masses in Sudan!

by Hammed Osman

The people of Sudan have misused democracy through their long history since the independence of Sudan from Britain in 1956.

The results came as many people have predicted in different military coups in 1959, 1969 and 1989.

They have misused democracy in many ways, starting of corrupting the elections campaigns, appointing people who have proved to be lacking transparency and credibility for key ministers, corrupting the ruling system and robbing the national treasury and spending in failed economical projects.

I came with the statement on this comment from pages on this website about the Sudanese sectarian parties and the Sudanese democracy although I knew it is the truth. Thank you for publishing this.

In the other hand, governments of the military coups keep on building some projects and developing the country.

At least in their military councils they have only goals to achieve developing the country through one system. While the political parties in the opposition scatter and lose the focus on the way the country should be developed.

Besides, those political parties have many goals, many programs, many differences and many conflicts inside them. Many political leaders are corrupted and they proved to be after wealth through the political power.

I think for all the reasons I have mentioned that democracy is not for the masses.
