Two years after the fall of Omar al-Bashir, the anger is still great and
the frustration is growing
.
Admittedly, there has been progress, recognize the young people who participated in the fall of the regime, but that does not change quickly enough in their eyes.
The economy is on its knees, the military is still in power and above all, there has been no justice for the crimes of the past, explains Mohamed Naji el Asan, of the Front for Freedom and Change which led the protest. : “
This is an essential point for young people. Judge all crimes, those against demonstrators, against student leaders, activists. We have a very long list of crimes committed in 30 years, including those committed in Darfur, and in the Nuba Mountains.
"
Reforming justice is one of the promises of the civilian government, set up after the fall of Omar al-Bashir.
But that is proving difficult to keep, underlines Guma Kunda Komey of Barhi University: “
The problem is that many leaders supposed to push for a reform of the justice are themselves accused by the demonstrators of being the authors of crimes.
This will make reform of this sector extremely complicated.
"
Until this problem of impunity is resolved, there can be no peace and political stability, he warns.
And to add: this justice reform will depend on the success of the transition in Sudan.
