The left in Sudan warns that the conflict between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces could be used as another excuse to prevent the hand over of power to civilian forces, reports Pavan Kulkarni.

For eight months in 2018-19, Sudan was gripped by an unprecedented mass movement to overthrow the 30-year dictatorship of Omar al-Bashir. Green Left spoke to Khalid Hassan about the achievements of the Sudanese people and the difficult challenges ahead.
