Opinion document: Sudan’s third presidential and legislative elections

Sudan’s third presidential and legislative elections are expected to take place next April. However, on their threshold, the country’s political arena displays the opposite scenario to the one defended by the National Dialogue Initiative, which was launched in January 2014 by Omar al-Bashir himself. It aimed at congregating all the political forces on a unique platform in order to fuel democratisation. Most of the opposition forces have already launched a boycott campaign against the elections, the African Union has failed to stop the armed conflict between rebel groups and the central authority, and the Sudanese regime has managed to smash the isolation where the American sanctions had locked it. Everything seems to point out that democracy, which has been so claimed by all Sudanese political colours, will have to wait, at least, for another term.
