The forgotten war: Revolution and counter-revolution in Sudan
Lecture and discussion
Organizer: inside: AKI Leipzig

Since 2023, a devastating war has been raging in Sudan, which is estimated to have claimed the lives of over 150,000 people - largely unnoticed by the Western public. The Sudanese
communist Amro Elebeid (SKP) analyzes the background: He sees the power struggle between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as an expression of imperialist influence in the struggle for resources and geopolitical control. The war marks the brutal end of the 2019 revolution, in which broad sections of the population - including the Communist Party of Sudan - fought for social justice. On the occasion of African Liberation Day on May 25, the lecture sheds light on how the war deliberately crushed this revolutionary movement - out of fear of its liberating potential.
