Habibi, inflation is down because following the coup you supported, #Sudan is in RECESSION. As a net importer of goods with a lack of forex reserves, and skyrocketing fees and taxes, Sudan's domestic demand has plummeted with grave consequences for ordinary people. Give it up.

You don't "end" abortion. People will still get abortions. What's you've done is make it unsafe. What you've done is harm people. That does not amount to sanctity of life.

It seems somewhat implausible that the Prime Minister, not known for his attention to detail, has overnight in the 12 hours since he lost 148 of his MPs come up with a coherent plan for massive reform of the NHS.

Just as France suspends Chad's (a junta that France likes) debt service, Mali (a junta that France doesn't like) is defaulting on its loan repayments.

France suspends Chad's debt service payments under G20 Common Framework to give space for urgent expenditure. Terms of official payment suspension will set template for private restructuring (negotiations ongoing). Progress in restructuring essential for further IMF disbursements

Multiple sources in Guinea Bisaau telling me it is at least an attempted coup and Preident security forces wounded (possibly fatally) but not clear if it’s a ‘successful’ coup at this point. Thoughts with my GB folks

Essential reading by @ComradeJihad. The regime is not just biding time but buying time and using every trick in the Bashir playbook to do so: "supporting" dialogue, exploiting agreements, double-speak and exploiting the IC's compulsion to support procedure over process. #Sudan

Buying time: Burhan’s strategy in Sudan

He is playing an intricate game to ensure that at the end of the day the military coup will be a “fait accompli.”
