Sudan's Dream of Democracy: A Country in Crisis | DISPATCH | HD Sudan Military Conflict Documentary

Sudan, a former safe haven for international terrorists, is now one of the most unstable countries on the planet. Since gaining independence in 1956, the country has experienced 18 coup attempts. After thirty years under the military-Islamist dictatorship of Omar al-Bashir, Sudan experienced a brief period of democracy in 2019. This was short-lived however, as the country was subject to a new coup which bought General al-Burhan and his military junta to power in October 2021. Since then, Sudan has been completely closed off from the rest of the world.

In the face of this turmoil, women risk imprisonment and torture by leading the weekly protests against the coup, longing for freedom after years of suffering under military dictatorship and sharia law. Can the people of Sudan persist in the fight for a brighter future despite the conflict that ravages the country?

This documentary was first released in 2023.
