Sudan’s revolution enters its most challenging phase

Significance

While a huge step towards a possible democratic transition, the real challenge facing Sudan’s revolution will come in its implementation phases.

Impacts

• Senior TMC figures will continue to wield disproportionate influence due to their control of key institutions and economic sectors.
• Economic reform will be a central challenge; the situation will likely get worse before it gets better.
• The deal could see Sudan removed from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism and move towards debt relief, though both may take time.
